Monday, April 5, 2021 - Very top shoulder fill.
Cork saturated and starting to give in.
Very impressive wine with unusual level of concentration.
The intensity of the botrytis character gives this wine a textural richness. Supposedly, this wine has 14+ % alc and almost 100 g/l RS. I believe it...
This has everything that you can expect in an aged Barsac but clearly doesn't fit the mold of Barsac being "lighter" than Sauternes.
If it wasn't for the corks, this wine would go another 10-20 years; even in his half bottle format. I will recork remaining bottles and enjoy them over the next two decades.
