Great balance of caramelized nuts and dried dark fruit with acid to allow it to be not cloying. Sweetness level is approachable and pairs extremely well with sharp cheese or a creamy or nutty dessert. — 9 years ago

This Sauternes is a true gem! Unctuous roasted peaches, dried apricots, orange blossom water, and candied orange rind play off of the heady saffron aroma and flavor. I could drink this every day paired with absolutely anything. This is perfection in a bottle. — 9 years ago
Rich with dried fruit, but with enough acid to cut through. Perfect for braised meats. — 9 years ago

A little too honey and floral and not enough fruit fell flat. — 10 years ago
Surprisingly still in tact for a 49 year old bottle. Upon opening the wine was sharp with acid, but after 5 hours of decanting the wine softened to allow notes of dried rose petals, cherries, and cranberries through. The wine has a tawny oxidized hue and has an ethereal translucence due to its age. This is probably a few years beyond its prime, but still incredibly enjoyable. — 9 years ago
Perfect bubbly. Balanced acid with a toasty touch of yeast. — 10 years ago

Raspberry candy, dark red fruit, and new leather on the nose. Fruit forward on the palate with floral notes. Bright acidity with balanced tannins. Aged perfectly. 2009 opened in 2020. — 5 years ago
