Fresh and vivid on the nose. Lime, lemon, honeyed notes, a slatey core. Some of the 2010 sweetness with a bit of tang. Lovely and light and fresh. With time oyster shells and a refreshing salinity but the heft and punch of meursault. Like great Chablis consommé. So deft and lucid. Wonderful. — 7 years ago

You had that with me. RARE.Raspberry compote, creme de violette, a handful of wet soil with crushed twigs and leaves. Balance and structure like the work of a romantic carpenter building his dream house. Like a semi-lucid dream where a warm, hazy sky is breaking like a glow stick into twilight hues and you’re on a beautiful old double decker steam train with a rooftop standing area. You’re whizzing by vibrant green fields of gigantic flowers, their petals flapping slowly in the wind like sheets drying on a line. Old oak trees growing fruits in colours that don’t exist yet. Glowing fireflies just above your head like painterly orange astronomy. In the dream it’s New Years Eve but in the dream everyday is New Years Eve and you could very well spend everyday alone with your dream power. — 8 years ago
This is so vital and dynamic on the nose. Bright cherry, dark fruit almost fizz. Do lucid and clear. Lovely ripe midpalate with great length. This is fabulous. Now and for a long time forward. — 8 years ago

A stunning bright nose with soft and clear red fruit and that beautiful, haunting Rousseau character. You could sniff this forever. On the palate very light and precise with deep red fruit and a consommé like intensity. Not a blockbuster, but very lucid, precise and pretty. Lovely stuff. — 8 years ago

A very bright and driven nose. Loads of blue fruit, a touch of green and some iron and mineral. On the palate, supple and fantastically lucid fruit. Great balance and decades ahead. Really good juice. — 9 years ago

1937 Lafaurie-Peyraguey: seventy-eight years had nothing on this still-fresh show-stopper. Lucid amber color, tangy marmalade-tinged flavor, medium-weight that is not tiring to drink at all. Threads the needle with perfect balance of honeyed intensity and bright acidity. One of the best #Sauternes ever to grace these lips. The perfect #wine when the wolves of life are howling outside your door. — 11 years ago

A slightly stinky front. Then real deep clarity of raspberry fruit. There’s a gentle luscious center of hauntingly pure aged fruit (dried roses, soft cherry?) leading into the end palate. Really lucid. Delicious. — 6 years ago
