2009 vintage. Golden color. Heavy body (still!!). Unctuous with a corresponding amount of acidity to keep the proceedings in check for the next decade. This ain’t going nowhere. About as far from my “jam” as is possible but still other-worldly. 5.1.24. — 4 months ago

Dark golden/ brownish in color.
Sweet nose with lots of flower notes, over ripen apples and spices.
Full-bodied with high acidity.
Sweet on the palate with pears, overripe citrus fruits, spices, apricots, tropical fruits, earth and bitter herbs.
Tangy finish, but too earthy for my taste.
This 34 year old is delicious, but a touch unbalanced, with too many earth notes for the fruits.
I've had a few vintages of this gorgeous wine, but none of them were this old.
I let it breathe for an hour, but it still wasn't as good as I hoped. It could just be this specific bottle, though.
A blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Drank from a 375ml bottle.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$500. — a month ago

This remains one of the greatest white dry wines of France although probably not for everybody. Every year is a surprise and that inconsistency can be off-putting. Golden color, medium weight, quite high in alcohol (14.5) and cloudy. Long burn, apricot, dried raisins, apple and pineapple. — 3 months ago

Perfect golden color. This wine is so amazing and complex I could spend an hour describing it. Super deep, a swirl in your mouth for minutes wine. Long finish that smoothers the palate. Insane juice!! — 15 days ago
