Honey and rose on the nose. Beautiful mouth coating feel, sweet honey start and a long finish, some peach and grape notes. Goes on for about 2 minutes. Really lovely and elegant, not cloying at all.

The last of my dozen - and what a change from the rather insipid Sauternes of this vintage. 3 years on from the last the wine has become rich and gold and even a faint botrytis, perfimed and honeyed. If only I had waited 35+ years for them all.

Very small nose, not much of anything. Not that it had gone bad, just smellt diluted. Very litttle swetness. Hanve gone dull. This bottle was Selling at rather low price and I now understand why.

Drinks pretty well. Fruit is still present, has charming elegance. No technical notes, as I was celebrating. Had a raging build-up of mold under the capsule, worst I've ever seen. Bought for about $50 and wasn't disappointed.
