  What a nose! Spectacular! Not as compelling on the palate. But still a real treat. Lord knows how long this wine will last.

  Brought this as a closer to Vilmart (1990-2014) dinner with winemaker Laurent Champs… Ended up served alongside 1976 Yquem….great color and condition, nose and palate was predominately yellow fruits with some honey and buttery notes medium sweetness and viscosity…. Didn’t have the intensity of my last bottle. Admittedly my impression of this being inferior to my last bottle may have been in part because the 76 Yquem was an amazing, almost perfect bottle in all respects…

  Last noted 3/14; not much has changed since then other than a slight deepening of color.
  
  Color/App: deep gold with high viscosity. Plenty of botrytis in the intense, Y'quem-like bouquet. Creme brulee, butterscotch, caramel, peaches, baking spices and a hint of lime; yum! Great, luscious palate: caramel, citrus, creme brulee again. Looong finish with perfect acidity. A great, great year for de Fargues. Perfect now but still many, many years left to enjoy.

  Encore bien frais, beaucoup d'acidité, de l'abricot, pêche, vernis a ongle, un superbe Sauternes assez classique de belle qualité. Aucune presse, ce vin peut tenir la route encore plusieurs années.

  Good aromatic detail with notes of lavender, apricot and lanolin. It is rich and lush, layered and long. The finish is energetic and invites another sip.
