Michel Bettane: Pale color. Rich Sauternes, deftly made in the part of the appellation that suffered most from hostile weather—an indication of the severity of the selection. The wine lacks the ultimate complexity of a great nobly rotten crop 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Pleasant but simple Sauternes 15

Michael Schuster: Mid-gold; honeyed nose; well enough balanced in the lighter, fresher style of the year; sweet, lively, moderately complex, but like many in this year, just a bit lackluster and lacking subtlety; pleasant, medium length, but unexciting for this great terroir. Now–2020+ 15.5
