Not sure of provenance on this bottle it was pretty dark. But it was still good. More orange citrus and honey than stone fruit. I liked it. Well recommended but would like to go to chateau and drink a bottle stored in the cellar….

Friday Night Double Blind Tasting $60+ (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Disturbingly deep amber brown color; dark cooked fruit, tart, sun cooked rather than spicy or marmalade, dried fig and spice notes; I'm sure a lot of this was the bottle but not many rave reviews of this wine, definitely not showing great today.

From a 750ml bottle. Dark amber color, wonderful nose. Definitely some "burnt" caramel flavors and the finish was rather short but it was still tasty and enjoyable as an aperitif with foie gras butter and fruit crostinis. Not sure what happened to the rest of the bottle as the evening wore on . . .

Rich gold, really quite dry and sherried on the palate. Not bad per se, but not what you want from a Sauternes. Disappointing.

Dinner with Wijncollectief founders. Very nice mature Sauterenes. Apricot, honey, caramel and somewhat medicinal.
