December 26, 2023 - Super elegant and balanced between botrytis and tertiary notes. Not heavy at all and in a good drinking window.

November 23, 2017 - A touch of acidity in the finish perfectly balanced the sweetness. Long finish, with some apricot like notes. Sweet botrytis entry; elegant and not overbearing overall. Balanced and mineral.Very good.

November 12, 2012 - Weekly tasting group #051; Bordeaux blends (By me @ BD): Just limited notes. Apricots, soft, beautiful acidity and pleasant sweetness. Not extremely concentrated. A pleasurable and elegant Sauternes. Ready now.

January 5, 2012 - Light amber color. Nice acidity and balance, lacks a touch of flesh and complexity to be excellent but very good nevertheless. Best bottle so far.
Robe ambre claire. Belle équilibre et acidité, manque un peu de corps et de complexité pour accéder à l'excellence, mais très bon malgré tout. Meilleure bouteille de ce vin.
