  Delicious mature Sauternes. What more needs to be said!

  4 years since my last bottle. Rich, unctuous, botrytis dialed up to 11. A saffron pineapple cake apricot jam bomb. Slight sense that the sugar is starting to drop out, but no hints really of tertiary complexity. Still could use a bit more acid and cut. Not convinced this will get any better but I don’t really have enough experience to know for sure.

  Déçu par cette bouteille de ce qui fut un grand Sauternes. Le vin me semble léger, il a digéré son sucre comme on dit, mais il manque de liqueur, de matière et de profondeur. Tout juste 89-90...
  
  Évolution défavorable, ou bouteille imparfaite?

  Tasted from a pristinely-cellared 375 cc bottle that had been popped and poured, this limpid, deep golden wine flaunts an intense aromatic profile of orange marmalade, peaches, apricots, honey, jasmine and crème brûlée. Unctuous on the palate, it delivers flavors in line with the nose. The beauty of this wine lies in its acid/sugar balance, maintaining a true freshness in the face of the decadent sweetness. Layered in the middle and long on the back end, this Sauternes remains classic in quality. It will definitely last longer than previously projected. Drink now-2041.
