  Drink more sweet wine. What a rewarding bottle. Great mature Sauternes. Solid acidity and structure but wow, what a palate of exotic fruit, spices and honey. Truly delicious.

  This wine has aged very well. Classic Botrytis wiith orange marmalade, honey, almond. Very sweet and moderately unctious. A true treat. Seerved after dinner with a wonderful lemon tort.

  A private dinner (Restaurant d'Oude Schuur, Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium): Tasted blind. Oaky, honeyed, oak bitters, concentrated but with firm acidity, vestiges of tropical fruit, very good length. Solid, but little finesse.

  Rich and ripe, strong apricot nose, some smoke as well. Good aromatic complexity. Solid but a bit too unctuous for my taste.

  Stored in a cold cellar since release. Deep amber gold. Lovely botrytis bouquet. Barley sugar. A little upfront but reasonable length. Seems unlikely to improve but drink reasonably soon.
