From half bottle. Ginger, honey, apricot, peaches on the nose. Very complex palate and super rich and concentrated. Honey, apricot, nectarine, peaches, ginger on palate along with vanilla and apple tart pastry. Very good.

Drank from 375ml. Quite light in color for a Sauternes. Showing lemon curd, honey, apricot, peach, and subdued botrytis on the nose. Full-bodied, concentrated, and very sweet on the palate, with good length. The sweetness dominates and there isn't enough acidity or complex botrytis flavors to balance it out. Still enjoyable overall but a bit simple, and somewhat of a let down from this producer.

Same as last tasting with creaminess, coconut, and Meyer lemon. Lovely now. With air, a bit of limestone chalkiness comes through. As much as I want to see this age, it’s awfully nice now— especially in halves. After being open for days (granted, in the refrigerator), it’s still awesome.

Meyer lemon, pear, ginger. Reasonable lift and plenty of spice to offset the sugar. With another 10-20 years this should develop delicious caramel notes, 92-94 pts.

No formal notes, but very good, still young. Improves and gains complexity when it warmes up. 91+.
