Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Sumptuously rich on the nose; dazzling, stylish, great depth: one of the four or five best Sauternes of the vintage. 18.5

Michael Schuster: Green tinge; a fresh, complex nose; beautifully balanced, a particularly elegant Sauternes, a fresh, concentrated, very sweet wine; long and racy across the palate, vital, energetic, complex, and persistent, with great length; the 2011 impression of “richness contained.” Poised, complete, and refined, in the slightly more restrained expression typical of the year. Fine Suduiraut. 18.5
