So, of this I've got 3 more bottles.. A very good vintage of "Sables d'Or" (whatever that fantasy name is...), thus bought 10+ bottles (at $13/50cl) about 4y ago. One drank last week. It's very amber colored, very sweet, and not bad at all - quite simple, though. Other vintages of this are simply undrinkable - once it went down the drain after a glass (don't remember the vintage - some are really horrible!)! The remaining bottles are on the priority list for drinking; the wine is descending slowly but surely (Peak 2-3y ago, maybe 82P.).
What is really sure: This wine is for quick drinking, not for cellaring. I wouldn't give any of its vintages more than 5y.
