Odd off oak notes. Same on day 2. Not sure if this was just awkward or flawed.

Lovely and luxury Sauternes. This wine has a deep gold color, nose is complex and rich with aromas of botrytis, honey, spring flowers, light citrus, apricot, full creamy body, lovely acidity, pleasant sweetness and a lovely elegant finish. Already pleasant today and will mature over the next two decades, my score91, drink to 2035 perhaps longer .

Youthful, yet quite delicious. Honeyed apricots, a touch of ginger, and dried tangerine peel. This has some weight that I hope fleshes out over the next 20+ years.

Lovely, streamlined, young Sauternes. Will the weight come?

Spoiled! Had this in Dordogne region with foie GRAS prepares four ways as an appetizer. The 2010 went perfectly. Honeysuckle, pear, peach with a long finish. Yummy.
