2007 Dauvissat Forest. Creamy and perhaps further along than is proper to be, or perhaps I just am in denial about how long ago 2007 was, but still crushed seashell and acid and if only it had some honey wow it might be fabulous. — 11 years ago

Deep gold in the glass. Nose of honeyed straw and dried apples. Full, mouth filling palate of dried apple, honey powder, and fading white flowers. Acidity is very present, but this is a really fat wine. I feel like I've eaten a biscuit after one glass. — 11 years ago

Had the petit the other night, so I was of course tempted to get the main show. 2003 was the oldest I had available so I went for it, and let me tell you.. if you have any in your cellar, I think they'll see another 5-10 years, but baby, the acid is perfect and the flavors are almost fully mature. A lovely intoxication of apricot jam, honey/molasses, decayed hydrangeas, and slight nuttiness on the nose. The pallet was lush and velvety, exhibiting notes of honey, orange blossom, dried apricots, dried pineapples, nutmeg, vanilla, and a bright, but not quite zippy finish. I need more of this..it was spectacular. — 8 years ago

Honey on toast straight off the bat, walnut oil and a very light touch of twiglet makes me think this isn't in the greatest shape but shows some great complexity. In the mouth there is snappy red apple skin from the off though the mouthfeel is rather thin, sleek on the finish with plenty of class. — 11 years ago

A great wine. Notes of apple and honey. Easy to drink and very refreshing. It leaves you craving more. I wish I had a few extra bottles. — 11 years ago

Half-bottle. The wine was medium amber in colour and offered orange peel, apple, honeycomb, caramel, smoke, spices, sherry and a mouldy note on the nose. On the palate the wine showed orange, peach, apple, cane sugar, caramel, smoke, spices, creamy honey, some coffee, a hint of chocolate, sherry, mild black tea and a mouldy note, paired with medium-plus acidity, a creamy honey mouthfeel and very good length. Judged by this half-bottle the wine has just passed its plateau and started its slow journey on the downward slope. A good, medium-bodied Sauternes with lots of botrytis character. Drink now. 89 — 11 years ago
