Always a pleasure to taste an aged Sauternes from a top producer. This is iced tea in color. The nose is slightly oxidized with honeys and slight apricots both fresh and dried. On the palate, this is thinner than expected. Slightly sweet. Tastes of slightly burnt honey (in a good way). Long finish. This is cetainly past prime but still provides a lot of enjoyment. It probably should be consumed sooner than later. It will work well on its own or with a not too sweet fruit dessert.
