My friend Bill saved me a pour from a tasting I had to miss. Stoppered and left in the fridge for a week.
Clear amber. Medium weight melon, lilacs, pear, and talc nose. Delicious spicy dried apricot flavours and a nice dry finish. Not really oxidized at all.
Remarkable wine that I have now had 6 times from Bill’s cellar. What a great friend.

Very bright amber. The nose begins medium intense but turns up the volume over a couple of hours. Dried apricot, pine nuts and dried figs or maybe dates. Delicious dry fruit flavours and a rich but balanced finish.
Not even a hint of oxidation.

Beaucastel Dinner at Tiger Mama. About the color of a 20 y/o Sauternes. Not terribly oxidized palate but just not very much left. Not much acidity. A little smoky.

Stinky on the nose but the palate used gorgeous. Powerful and rich. Super tasty.

Clear amber. Intense nose, black tea, honey, apricot, freshly poured concrete, and baked apple. Dry rich baked apple, apricot and pineapple flavours and a rich dry finish.
