  December 23, 2023 - belle robe jaune profond, cuivré.
  Nez exubérant, plein de vie.
  La bouche est magique, ensorcelante:
  Abricots, réglisse, cannelle, brioche, et longue finale sur la marmelade.
  wow!

  January 8, 2023 - Adriana's birthday party (80) and dinner and 'her' Frans opened some nice bottles: very soft spicy, juicy, lovely sweetness, very 'round'; missing some complexity (375 ML).

  December 12, 2021 - On tge nose get green tea and tropical notes, great botrytis notes, flavors are similar with more green tea influence but has the sweetness you would expect, low acidity moderate finish, quite nice but feels like something is missing but for the price this is great. Drinking great right now, not enough experience to say if it will age. A crowd pleaser as well.

  July 21, 2017 - Big orange marmalade, vanilla, lemons, and summer morning. There is a dry, sobering element on the palate amidst the orange marmalade. Solid Sauternes.

  July 2, 2017 - Delicious, if a touch simple. Orange, lemon zest, nice amount of botrytis. A little crisp for a 97, which is nice. I shouldn't hold this with hopes of improvement, but it will last.
