December 25, 2023 - quite dark in color. incredible perfumed nose consistent with Lafon. Drank well over two days. This bottle was at apex.

September 17, 2023 - From 0.375. The top Sauternes vintage delivered. Had the Raymond Lafon side by side with the 2001 Climens. Both great, the former had the better nose with lots of saffron and sweet spices, the Climens won the palate competition being more airy.
