Vintage 2001 | Beautiful developed and great intensity. Apricot, honey, botytris in smell. Balanced sweet. Such wines will outlive me. First time we tried Sauternes with oysters. It works.

Merry X-mas! 🎄❤️🍀

It is good and intense, of course it is 2001. Honeysuckle, lemon peel, good acidity, a bit oxydized. Very good effort not up to what 2001 could have produced but quality wine.

At restaurant Pollevie - Turkish fruit, good balance, with crème brulé from foie gras
