From magnum. Deep golden/yellow in colour, glowing. On the nose burnt sugar, honey, spices, dried fruit, exotic fruit notes. Not overly complex nor very persistent and a little low in terms of acidity, but well balanced overall with good intensity and concentration of fruit. Slightly bitter finish. Drink or keep. 88-90

2013 Family Xmas; 12/24/2013-12/25/2013 (Alicante): Totally agree with previous TN of my CT mates. It's not the best Sauternes ever but a honest, richly aromatic bottle with a medium bodied touch in the palate. Perfect matched with traditional Spanish Xmas sweets.
Totalmente de acuerdo con las notas previas de mis colegas del CT. No es el mejor Sauternes de siempre salvo una botella honesta, ricamente aromática con un toque medio en boca. El perfecto acompañamiento a los tradicionales dulces de Navidad.

Beautiful golden colour. Quite sweet and a little confected, but still not heavy. Would prefer a bit more liveliness/freshness, but that is probably the vintage. Reasonable length.

Nice, sweet wine with a short finish, slightly hot finish. Not as viscous as the better Sauternes I've had, but not bad.
