Can’t fake that blue. Can’t substitute that Burgundy. Captivating nose with red roses, cherry, and forest floor. Palate is elegant with tart red cherry and white mushroom, high acidity, medium plus tannins, medium plus body, medium alcohol, and a long hearty finish. Cloud have saved for a few more years but over the moon enjoying it with a black truffle tagliatelle tonight. — 2 years ago

#sauternes so sweet and balanced. Third of three bottles for my wife’s 40th birthday. We saved the best for last, as it turns out. Honeyed layers as this gently warms in a Burgundy bowl - caramel, marzipan, toasted almonds, some petrol, apricot jam. Tastes exactly how it smells with the acidity taking a step back from the honey sweetness swirling around a luscious oily mouthfeel. Touch of orange pith bitterness on the finish - lovely wine. Indeed it pairs well with Indian food but the force of this wine could have easily matched even spicier dishes. Beautiful wine and what’s amazing is it seemed this wine could easily go another 20 years. Good Sauternes is ever youthful. — 4 years ago

Really very good. In a nice spot, glad we saved this. Quite rich, but the confectionary quality is nicely balanced. A bit flinty on the finish, excellent acid. Very complete and enjoyable — 3 years ago

Ripe to bruised yellow apple, mushrooms, saffron, almond and walnuts husk. A but if phenolic grip on the finish. Will revisit day 2 cause it needs time to air. DAY 2: much better! Even more pure fruit, high concentration, slightly dried yellow flowers, less almond and some candied apple. Should have saved more for day 2! — 4 years ago

Reference Danielle DiDuro’s comments. Deceiving nose, fruit forward, with a beautifully complex finish. Saved a bottle to celebrate Inauguration Day. Perfect! — 4 years ago
