Tasting
"This is a rich, balanced wine, with good liqueur on the finish. Aromas of toasted almond, then honey and candied fruit develop well. The color evolves to a fairly intense gold."
"Very original, this Sauternes is a great seducer that dispenses and will dispense refined pleasures for a long time to come. "
"Aromas of vanilla, marshmallow, almond and candied fruit. Very rich, powerful and fat on the palate. Magnificent nose of honey, vanilla, caramel, candied plum. To be aged for a long time. What a personality! "
