Dark golden in color.
Strong nose of apples, over ripen citrus fruit, light nuts, tropical fruits, honey, mangoes, light pineapples, minerals and spices.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium plus acidity.
Sweet on the palate with citrus, over ripened apples, melons, spices, honeysuckle, mangoes and dried fruits.
Long finish with apricots and honey notes.
This 12 year old sweet wine from Sauternes is absolutely fantastic.
Creamy and rich. Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and extracted
I've had a few vintages of this Second Growth Sauternes, and this 2014 is beautiful. Not as rich as the 2019 vintage, but just as gorgeous.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.
Wine Enthusiasts 95 points.
Good by itself as a dessert, and will pair nicely with blue cheese.

A solid budget “Beauj”. This actually tastes like terroir and you can tell the winemaker is trying to not get too involved in the cellar unlike last nights moulin a vent. A lightness and tartness that is quite fun raspberry notes of fruit and a lot of acidity lead to a good drinking wine. Perhaps cherry notes in the middle? The finish isn’t huge but it does linger after swallowing. Actually the nose is quite pretty. Lilac notes? A flower. Highly recommended. The light tartness on the finish might a little much for some people. Maybe air will mellow it. Will buy again.
Edit: after 20 or 30 min of air the tart end integrates and the wine smoothed even more out. This probably deserves a higher rating than 9. Highly recommended — 3 years ago

Delicious Chateauneuf du pape with lamb at a family dinner. Lovely nose, dark fruit, fine finish — 2 days ago
This is a nice and easy drinking Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Showing red fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
I had this vintage a year ago at the winery, and it was drinking so much better then.
Good by itself and better with food.
A blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. Aged in (20% new) large French oak barrels.
