  September 19, 2020 - Half bottle.
  Cork barely holding up.
  At full maturity and seems to have declined a little since last tasting, also in half bottle.
  Nice texture and richness, lacking a little in aromatic precision and in acidity to give it a little more life. Honey, candied fruit, decent length from this great Sauternes vintage.

  September 2, 2018 - Not much nose - golden color with honey and peach flavors in the mouth. Still good acid fruit balance. short finish. Al in all a nice wine given its age

  January 11, 2017 - From a half bottle, base neck fill level.
  Fairly deep color, best described as caramel. At this point the aromas seem slightly muted. There is still a decent amount of complexity and the botrytis element is still evident. However, the intensity of this wine is clearly on the decline. The sweetness and the VA over-power the botrytis. The texture of the wine is still nice, but overall this wine should be consumed in the near future.
