I love it old, but MAN, does impatience have its rewards!

Serious, sly, opulent, and poised. Gorgeous expression, as ever.

No complaints here. At this stage the fruit (especially apricot) sits center-stage, framed by exotic oak and botrytis characteristics. Remarkably well-balanced, it does not cloy or fatigue as you quickly reach for another glass.

lovely pear, peach, great nose. Almost there in terms of balance and finesse.

A premier grand cru classe and rightly so. Divine.

Paired nicely with some pungent cheese. Pretty sweet, solid acidity, range of tropical fruit and dessert spice notes.

Typical Sauternes, very creamy, dried fruit and butter taste. Can be easily drink now, a small lack of freshness to be hold much longer.
