Deep yellow with an orange tinge. Botrytis nose. Liquoreux feel, moderately sweet. Crême brulée and tropical fruit, good length but not the acidity I'd expect from a 2001 Sauternes. Good.

Wine was properly stored from purchase upon release until consumed. Beautiful bouquet of apricot, citrus, coconut, vanilla and pear. Usually viewed as the "best of the rest" of Sauternes after the top growths.

Sauternes âge de 15 ans. Toujours délicieux. Couleur ambre, or jaune magnifique, nez puissant de mangue, abricot et botrytis. Très long en bouche, acidité parfaite qui garde la fraîcheur de l'ensemble. Bravo à la famille Lamothe. Prêt à boire, ne plus attendre.
