  First of 3 bottles.
  Good fill level and cork condition.
  Very slightly golden hue.
  Lively aromatics showing excellent botrytis character, as you would expect from this excellent vintage.
  On the palate, excellent balance with good acidity, moderate sweetness and nice texture. Clearly in the "elegant" category of Sauternes/Barsac, but I view this as a quality.
  will continue to drink well for another 5-10 years but bottles in good condition.

  My bottle was in good condition, and the experience of a sweet wine with a lot of age to peel back the perception of sugars is really interesting, but alas this bottle didn't have the stuffing to be a very good wine. Biggest lack was intensity of fruit and probably a bit of muddled and slightly dusty notes to it.

  Still fresh and alive. Creamy, well balanced, hints of honey, peach and coconut. Very good.

  Clear bright medium amber. Medium intense but rich nose, dried apricot, saffron, lemon curd and baked apple. Delicious ripe but not cloying, honey, spice and apricot flavours and a rich but not cloying finish.
