Andrea's 50th. Pristine cork. Dark colour but great freshness. Nose of marmalade and caramelised sugar. Medium sweetness and went superbly with cheese, especially blue. A great mature Sauternes in impeccable condition. A treat.

Orange, apricot, marmelade, spice and honey scents move you to the medium bodied, fully mature wine that is better on the nose, than on the more simple, apricot and orange marmelade palate, which is shorter and less sweet than I wish it was.

Brilliant. Ripe apple, almond and caramel flavors, perfect balance. Needs an hour in the decanter, but seamless. A bit more acidity would merit a higher score, but this wine was in essence perfect. Not terribly complex, but a stunning example of a vintage being left to history. No decay, could last another decade.
