  Similar to notes from 12/31/19. Rich ,s slightly syrupy but refined botrytis, peaches and apricots. A bit low in acidity but still holds its own with a light cheesecake. Drink or hold.

  My last bottle. What’s not to love. An energizing sweet and rich drink, went great with sweet dried egg roll.

  From a half-bottle. Nice medium gold colour - really quite pretty. On the nose, aromas of peach, apricot, faint touch of caramel and botrytis type rubber aromas. On the palate, the attack is sweet, viscous with the aromas found on the nose as well as pastry cream (crême pâtissière). Faint touch of bergamote. Not overly concentrated or complex, but very pleasant and well balanced in a light style for a Sauternes. Perhaps slightly low in acidity (as quite a few other 2005s), but this is still very pleasant and goes well on its own or with some plain fresh strawberries. 89-90

  The color was not advanced, just a fairly light golden. The dominating note was a fresh coat of paint which overwhelmed any fruit. Not sure what went wrong with this one.
