Review Date: 04/2010My primeur observation was that: 'this has good potential to blossom by bottling'. How true! Clean, precise and elegant on the nose, white peach, honeysuckle, orange-blossom and a touch of apricot, very pretty and feminine. The palate is well balanced, very crisp with a very fine level of botrytis and an engaging purity. Apricot, white peach and citrus lemon inform the fresh, lively finish. This completely surpasses my expectations. Lovely. Drink now-2025.

Full-bodied, very sweet, thick and rich, with wonderful lemon, pineapple, honey and spice character. This is holding back, so give it time. Best after 2001.

Email SteveI doubt that we’ll have any of this left by the time you read this because this is a tremendous value for a 14-year-old Sauterne. And, this wine is ready to drink right now. There is beautiful candied citrus, pure botrytis and honeycomb on the nose and palate. The acidity is completely integrated providing a soft, elegant palate.
