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

Translucent medium ruby red. Lighter bodied with red fruit, some cranberry, spice, and a little pine needle. 13.8 % ABV. Very good.

Immediate cranberry on nose...leading into bright cherry, red apple peel, hibiscus, a bit of mushroom, pine needle and brought back to bright red fruits and shadows of spice still lingering. Definitely new world with great respect for gentle handling and place. Lovely. — 14 years ago
Medium garnet color, bright like Ruby gem, smells of white truffle, Matutake mushroom, damped earth, pine needle, and smoked meat, tannin is completely resolved at this point, extremely smooth and round, tastes of strawberry, pomegranate, and cranberry, initially pronounced acidity with a citrus note, faded away after 30 min in the decanter, still plenty of fruit left, a pleasure to drink, medium to long lingering finish with a savory aftertaste. Yummy! — 11 years ago

Little funk then baking spice, earth, tea, and pine needle. Savory and delicious. Good stuff for a WV wine. Day 3: This has added depth, really delicious. — 11 years ago
