The 2009 is one of the greatest wines ever produced from the estate. It has a riveting bouquet of quince, honey, pear and a touch of clarified butter that is beautifully defined, offering scents of yellow flowers with continued aeration... The palate is beautifully balanced with perfectly judged acidity and immense purity. The finish offers crisp honey, quince and clementine notes laden with botrytis that is counterpoised by wonderful acidity. It possesses an unerring sense of completeness and composure that is irresistible. Bravo! Drink now-2050. eRobertParker.com (Neal Martin)

Certainly early on this but nonetheless tasty. Pineapple upside down cake, honey, nuts, marmalade, orange peel, orange blossoms and touch of brown sugar on the long finish.

Great wine, from a half bottle. Lots of complexity and depth of flavor. Honey, white chocolate and caramel. Nectarine, pear and bloodorange. Almonds, oats and buttery cookie-dough. Exquisite balance, luscious sweerness, fresh acidity and spicy bitterness. Deeeelicious now!

Home made Buche de Noelle with a sauternes to finish off the Christmas lunch with the French part of my family. Two classics next to each other. Well balanced, orange peel, little bitter, salty finish. All smiles. Thank you @Peter Zandbergen or the bottle!
