This is a 61 and albeit not great in Sauternes that year this wine was in perfect balance of fruits, acids with lengthy backbone. Not as intense as 67 or 59 of course but beautifully elegant. Color as dark golden with touch of hazelnut brown. Neck fill. Perfect cork. — 10 years ago
Decanted for 4 hours but still a baby. Will get better as the tannins mellow. Big nose or kirsch liquor and toasted balsam. Palate is dark cherries and plums with cedar box. The finish is long and has vanilla hints that resonate with the dark fruit and Cedar. Needs another few years and will improve. — 12 years ago
