Mistake! Last of two, first one opened in 2019 and meant to keep this one aging but forgot! It’s drinking beautifully, complex profile with fruits and stones singing together and am enticing texture that makes me sip more without the seafood. Too bad, no more to grow old! From JR Half Voignier and half Grecetto! Wow, got even better after days in Eto, More evolved, complex, lingering finish. Too bad it’s gone. Indeed quite a wine for aging. — a year ago
The best overall older Sauternes yet in pairing with Wilson’s foie gras (this one is unusually mild and neutral). Also did well with the shrimp boil which was quite spicy. Lasted well for several days in Eto. Yum. Color was noticeably lighter than expected, including against younger vintages of this class. — 3 years ago
An oldie left from Gordon’s and the little Bordeaux is drinking so nicely, even on day three in Eto and the earthiness of day one is not as prominent but the ripe fruit mineral nose and balance and complex palate the same. Deal! Last one! — 9 months ago
Figured might be heading downhill but it’s drinking very nicely for my taste. That complexity only possibly with bottle age. Went well with different dishes over several days in Eto. — 2 years ago
Grafs family minus K visit (Ho left) mom BD 5/7/22. Cab lineup through the decades. Shockingly alive and drinking well! It actually went great with grilled salmon! Such was its lack of tannins and fruit and body. PS it did fade over the next three days in Eto (Hsing tasted (5/9) but remained an excellent partner for food. — 3 years ago

Unimpressive when first opened, closed off, thought perhaps over the hill, but came alive after a day plus in Eto. Went well with different foods from chicken nan to spicy meats. — a year ago
Really opened up after two days in eto! Stony white fruit minerals leading into firm chewy texture and long finish laced with acids and bite. Upping by two to 9.1. Only bottle unfortunately. — 2 years ago
First night lees impressive than two days later in Eto. First blush of purple color and bright red fruits, sour cherries, more new world than old but later it flipped. Excellent with grilled meats in either case. Interesting. — 3 years ago

A first and a surprise! Late fall flowers and minerals acidic balanced tingling palate and good finish. Didn’t do quite as well the next two days in Eto as aromas faded. — 9 months ago
