Bit light for an old Sauternes. Lovely botrytis though.

Exotic fruits, pineapple, passion fruit. On the grassy side, hay, peach in syrup, apricot... superbly in place for this 2015 with a potential for evolution over the next 25 years, potential evolution towards notes of dried fruit and nuts. Sweet without saturated sugar. Digestible and light. A real wine in the refined sense of the term. Magnificent on a Roquefort cheese.

Notes fruits exotiques, ananas, fruits de la passion. Côté herbeux, foins, pêche en sirop, abricot… superbement en place pour ce 2015 avec un potentiel d’évolution sur les 25 prochaines années, évolution potentiels vers des notes de fruits secs. Doux sans sucre saturé. Digeste et léger. Un vrai vin au sens raffiné du terme. Magnifique sur un Roquefort.

I’m not focused on sweet liquorous wines, but I had a lot of pleasure with this pretty almost four-year-old bottle. The evolutionary notes add depth and relief to notes evoked by other comments (peach, apricot, bitter orange, honey, nutmeg) a magnificent wine tasting.

Moi qui ne suis pas porté sur les vins doux liquoreux, j’ai ici trouvé beaucoup de plaisir avec un joli flacon quasi quadragénaire. Les notes d’évolution apportent de la profondeur et beaucoup de relief sur des notes évoquées par les autres commentaires (pèche, abricot, orange amer, miel, noix de muscade) un magnifique vin de dégustation.

Sticky Barsac from the 2009 vintage. A delicious ending to a fantastic Kings Day tasting menu!
