Chateau De Cosse 2001 Question

[wdonovan]

Wow, nobody touched this one? Something he said? I'm not an expert but I know what I like. We have no objection with drinking Sauternes quite young. I don't find a big difference between a 3 year old and a ten year old Sauternes. Up around 15 I can definitely tell something has changed. The age does nothing like it does to a red from the same county. I can easily taste ten years on any Bordeaux in my cellar. But..... should you drink it? That's up to you. Even a second vineyard from the maker of a Parker 100 for the vintage should last a good long time. If you're not real young (I'm not so I can't imagine anyone is), it could outlast you. You just may not like the taste. I prefer to drink these nectars before they turn copper color. If it was my bottle, I'd welcome the excuse to open and taste it then probably rush back for another bottle or two to "put to sleep".
