Second growth Sauternes showing well after meal with friends. For some reason seemed to be more complex than my first bottle several months ago. Chunky marmalade & lanolin notes, oh so integrated after 16 years in bottle. Still fresh & with some snap.

2008 drank in 2018. Way past it’s prime. Weak, though some pleasant apple flavors lingered

Pear, honey and toasted sugar, sweet but not sickly, not overly viscous or heavy either, great accompaniment to a key lime dessert.
