Thursday, January 9, 2014 - Bordeaux matters, along with Burgundy and Champagne and Port and ... (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): This was a half bottle I brought and was not the best performance I have encountered from this estate in 1983. It was rich and spicy - with fine botrytis derived notes. But it lacked the energy I have encountered from other bottles enjoyed in the past. Still, a very good example of aged Sauternes from an underrated estate whose wines today are very competitively priced.
