January 30, 2024 - Same as last bottle: fat and intense. More Mandarine orange notes than apricot. In a wonderful place but potential for some more years. Very successful advertisement for Sauternes.

December 25, 2023 - Fully mature, loaded with marmalade and candied orange peel. Full bodied, sweetness quite well balanced by the acidity. Long and complex. Drinking perfectly now and will last many years.

August 20, 2022 - Half bottle. Golden color. Sweet and fruity nose. Full bodied, botrytis driven wine. Sweet apricot. Long and sweet finish. What you expect from a good Sauternes is there. In a great place now, but easily potential for 5 more years.
