Great acidity, stony, gently honeyed, rich but not overwhelming. Compared it to the 2015. Very different, but not a bottle age thing. This had more edge, more energy.

Niet verkeerd, maar wel een hele grote stap terug t.o.v. de grand vin dit jaar. Had stiekem wat meer verwacht van de 2009.

Bright fragrant Sauternes with honey and tropical fruits. Lacks a bit of acidity but the hits of star fruits and pineapple nice length.
