Dark amber color, translucent. Usual notes of a Sauternes. Great finish to a great night.

Mar 12th, 2017Light gold brown in the glass. Piercing Sauternes nose of high pitched fruit, burnt orange peel, brown sugar, apricot and almond paste. Overpowering finish. I wrote before the 62 d'Yquem was the best Sauternes I ever had. This 59 was much better.

Apr 11th, 2015This gets a 11+ rating if it was possible. The gods would be so lucky to have a sip of this. Incredible wine for Christmas. Such a light color for the age. So round and perfect. Finish that never ends. Doesn't get better.
