Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Thursday, December 26, 2013 - Half bottle, auction buy, very high shoulder, tricky cork, with an extended opening sequence inspired if not aided by the Durand.

Strikingly mute on the nose. More interest on the palate, balanced like a good Sauternes, but quite thin and short.

Having just read aagrawal's recent note (whose notes I always read with interest), I suspect that this bottle was a bit tired, although it was not flawed in any way. I have one more bottle (alas same lot), and will check it out soon.
