A nice wine but not overly complex at this point and quite heavy, more on the unctuous sweet side of things. I think it will get better with more cellar time

Drank with home made peach tart and chantilly cream. Perfect accompaniment. In appearance golden orange. Prior to dessert, predominant flavour of Seville orange mar lease with fantastic tartness to accompany the sweetness. With peach element, peaches come to fore and vanilla becomes prominent with the pastry.
I could drink this all night

Just as pleasant now at 17 years as it ever was. Deep golden color with peach,apricot, and candied apple still prominent.

Deep golden nectar. Not overly sweet. Candied apricots and pears. Drinks way over it's price point and for a 17 year old, it is still showing well.

Had with a strawberry guyette (tart). Apricot, vanilla, and mango jam .
A great price point for superb Sauterne.
