Caramel, toffee, ripe fig and apricot. Loads of burnt honey botrytis. Rich and tertiary in the mouth. Delicious. Drink soonish.

2001 vintage. This estate never disappoints and prices are reasonable. It shines in this great vintage with abundant botrytis, balanced by the nice acidity.

So beautiful! In a great place now, with the youthful ways giving in to maturity but perhaps just before the ethyl acetate of old Sauternes sets in. Acid, RS, botrytis, oak all in balance. Hold if you like, but it's ready!

Half-bottle. Lovely older Sauternes, still wonderful acidity keeps this wonderfully balanced, sweet and medium-long finish, very nice Sauternes.
