Should not have kept it this long - the pain of offsite storage but it’s still very nice. The nose is light/gone, buttery smooth with a light finish. Can’t recall how much acid this had early on in its life but it’s only there lightly now. Not dead but I’m drinking these asap. — 3 months ago

Nose is a bit subdued out of the gates. Some mineral, some feral, some spice. But palate is full blown awesome 15 in full glory. Dense, juicy, meaty and so packed with dense berry fruit. Long and so fresh, I mean really long. This is so good. I’ll be back as the nose opens up.

After 12-15 hours open nose is meaty, minty, granitic, spice, feral, herbs and a hint of sauvage floral. — 4 years ago

1998 vintage. This estate was acquired in 1972 by former Château Yquem régisseur Pierre Meslier ( who passed away in 2023 at the age of 93). He managed to restore the wines to their former glory, and his 3 children seem to continue on the same path. This 1998 features a brilliant, golden colour, and a nose that immediately shows off the typical roasted botrytis aromas that characterise great Sauternes, intertwined with honey, beewax, maple syrup, lemon confit and flowers. In the mouth, it is succulent and profound, wonderfully achieving that delicate balance between sugar and acidity that makes Sauternes potentially great. Layers of dried and fresh fruit, rich and refreshing at the same time, culminating in a very long finish with a lovely almondy impression. Excellent. Abv. 13,5%. — 9 months ago

How can wine be this good? Transcendent is too weak a word to describe the glory that is this wine. Achingly beautiful. This is a “why we drink wine” type of wine. Needed an hour. So elegant and just the right amount of opulence. Magic is not the word but it’s the best I got. Thanks, Chris L. — 8 months ago

Pinnacle of Chablis - waxy citrus in all its glory with a pearled mouth feel. Head and shoulders above all others. — 2 years ago

The 2019 vintage is a return to the former glory. Perfect ripeness in both fruit and phenolics. — 3 years ago
