Tasting notes
The 2001 Liot has a high-toned but rather monochrome nose offering light floral scents but little in the way of terroir expression. The palate is viscous on the entry, very sweet and missing some acidity. The finish is holding up well after 20 years but lacks tension. Easy-drinking fare.

The Liot 2001 has a perfumed dried pineapple and quince-scented bouquet augmented by nougat and wax resin. The palate is balanced with quite a sharp entry and then it finishes a little musty. It appears that the aromatics have lasted better than the palate. Drink this in the near future.

This plump, fleshy Sauternes reveals copious amounts of botrytis along with honeyed pineapple and floral characteristics. Enjoy this fruit-driven 2001 during its first 7–8 years of life.
