What a disappointment! The 2009 tasted lately was quite good (and ripe to drink), but this one is not convincing at all. No nose, not much taste, no finish. Putting this in this price category (>30$) is rip-off. This is like a 6$ wine. Poured the rest. Won't buy Sello del Rey again.

Light gold color, many beautifully glittering tiny crystals. Fruity and very nice to drink, not overly sweet. Seems still a little bit too young. But if you like youthful, fruity Sauternes, here you go and enjoy. Guess it has a good midterm life just ahead. Opened 3 days ago; doesn't seem to change much in open bottle over that period. Now it's almost empty, which is a pity...

Here goes my third last bottle.. Lovely dark gold color, very sweet; no fruit. Very nice; maybe not as deep and complex as other sauternes, but e very easy drink. Excellent moment. Still no signs of getting too old. I will not wait too long with the remaining two bottles, though. Don't think it gets better. Opened yesterday, got a notch better after a day.
