Michel Bettane: Golden color; honey-like large nose lacking complexity and freshness; not too rich; nice balance for drinking now 15

Thierry Desseauve: Pleasant wine but with limits; more dried berries than botrytis; sweet and tender 15

Michael Schuster: Mid-gold; lightly oaky, gently barleysugar nose; well-balanced, fresh, lighter Sauternes, medium-sweet by today’s standards, but no lack of sugar (sweet without being intensely so). Clean, straightforward, apéritif style. Medium length. Now–2016+ 14
