It is an okay Sauternes, but lacks the depth and warmth of other Sauternes, still not bad and not sticky (+). I can not give more points, but do not understand how other rate this one like 90?! Maybe it was too old, but a good Sauternes should last 10 years.

Nose: Botrytis, canned pineapple, papaya. Mouth: Consistent with the nose. The wine is not only sweet but has a delicious sourness in the mid-palate, too. Some serious honey in the finish. Not sticky and boring but vibrant and elegant. 14% alc.

Bordeaux, Aged Cali Cabs and Burgundy with the Benchmark Wine Group in Port Chester (Il Sogno, Port Chester, NY): I actually quite liked this with it's flavors of honey, raisin and apricot. Was really just coming into it's own though. Lot of structure here and may reward further cellaring. A very nice way to end of the evening.
