Outstanding bottle at age 50! Amazing balance, lovely sweet apricots mingled with mandarin and other spices. Consumed over 5 nights, held its own and even improved becoming even more unctuous.

Wife's 50th birthday wine that she decided to share with friends tonight.
Dark amber color
Cork was solid and came out easily with the Durant.
Nose is mesmerizing and I know it's going to be good.
Palate was richly sweet perfectly balanced by nice acidity. Botrytis notes added complexity and a hint of spice.
A great bottle and textbook example of a well aged Sauternes.

Wow! Having this at Park Place Cafe with the foie gras crepe, and what a wine & food match.
Not too sweet, but still quite rich. Really darned tasty, and a pleasure to drink tonight.
