Cork had disintegrated -- even with the Durand, I couldn't get the whole thing out. I bought the bottle at auction, so not sure how it was stored prior to last year. Shame; I was looking forward to trying it, but as it was, it tasted like old pear cider.

This is fantastic and going strong. Deep golden / amber color. Honey, stewed peach and ripe apricot nose that just drips with sweetness. The palate is lushious and rich yet balanced beautifully by bright acidity. Very long and complete. Super stuff. (93)

Golden raisins, apricots and honey notes. This wine is holding up very well. Just the right amount of acidity. An excellent finish to a fantastic Thanksgiving meal.

As a huge sauterne fan I was getting ready for a less unctuous disappointment. I was wrong. A wine with great precision, its strongest attribute! Complex. Balanced acidity. Raisins and apricots. A finish that went on and on. Looking at other reviews maybe this wine is now just hitting its peak. Wish I had more.

Apricot, burnt honey, toffee notes, floral nose, low acidity, maybe a touch pass it's prime.
