Nov 18th, 2024Weekly Wednesday wine committee. This week we had 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 3 reds, 1 dessert. All tasted blind as normal.
I’ve been spoiled with birth year wines as of late and this was no exception. Nobody guessed it was older than 10yrs! Shocked at how light in color it still was. Retained some orange blossom, chamomile, honeyed caramel almonds. Wonderful Sauternes.

Just starting to turn a light carmel color, but tastes so incredibly young. Even out of .375 this still has decades in it. Beautiful wine.

Jan 13th, 2015A nice drinking sticky. Lacked precision and depth to make it very good. But tasty enough with a cheese plate. No hurry opening any of these.

Mar 5th, 2014One of the best Sauternes I've ever had. Complex tropical fruit with classic honey butterscotch flavors. Prefectly balanced

Feb 2nd, 2019Perfect accompaniment for a peach and ginger upside down cake for dessert. Lovely vanilla and peach notes. Showing just beautifully at 30 years of age.
