Today was my annual hosting of the Wednesday Wine Committee. There was 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert, all provided by me. Tasted blind, as always.

Birth year Sauternes. Drinking just like you’d expect a 31yr old Sauternes to be drinking, and maybe even slightly younger. Basically perfect provenance, the color has really darkened over the last 2-3yrs. Amber in the glass and molasses like up front. This checks all the boxes for Classic Sauternes. Honeyed sweet fruits with ripened pineapple, golden peach and nectarine with a touch of savory/nutty notes on the finish. Very lengthy finish with tons of complexity and life left. Wish I had another 1-2 bottles! — 4 days ago

Nose has warmed pear, wildflower honey, dried grapefruit peel and cold butter.

Palate has baked yellow apple & pear, fading citrus notes, sandstone-like minerality, under-ripe white peach and hint of dried apricots on the long finish.

This wine has improved markedly in two years since from our last bottle. As usual, it's the last bottle, but should anyone be holding 2010, no concerns for 4-6 more years. Solid bottle from a very solid vintage, just coming into it's prime, when in proper storage.

Paired tonight with some beautiful cuts of Halibut, perfectly cooked in sous vide. Accompanied by roasted broccoli, shallots and lemons, just stellar with this bottle.

Trendy? Yes, but it’s also tasty. Perhaps the softest SB I can remember. None of the lemongrass or bright citrus but instead is more round with the semillon and very soft from the oak. A nice wine if you don’t mind the style. — 24 days ago

Cat pee and grass up front, but not in a bad way, but with rich honeyed white peach fruit right behind it. Nice. — 11 days ago

A beautiful complex white from Washington state. 70% Sauvignon Blanc 30% Semillon. Great fruit, great acidity and finish. 94 Wine Enthusiast — a day ago

Old enough to lose the honey drop viscosity that I don’t like about this wine and nice acidity to bolster it this long. — 19 days ago

From one of the top Sauternes estates! Rich amber color brings complex honey apricot taste and viscosity. So much fun to share with good friends and food. — 23 days ago
