Nearing twenty years of age, this wine is just hitting its stride and has much life left. The straw colored golden colored has darkened to honey color. Nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
Medium to full bodied, dense, structured, complex flavors of honey, orange and apricot are accented by hints of almond, vanilla and floral.

Very nice bottle. Fairly traditional blend of Sauternes flavors. Good acidity to balance the sweetness. I have another, and I am not certain what to d with it. It will certainly last for a few more years (at least 5 IMHO), bit I am not certain how much it will improve. My guess is that it will mellow a but, but no change dramatically.

My TN from 5 years ago stands pretty much unchanged. Classic Sauternes, just the right balance pf sweet and acid.
