I disagree. I've had numerous Sauternes that were much older than the OP's (25-75 years). I've only had one that was undrinkable, and that one had a failed cork. They lose much of their sweetness, but they gain a complexity and richness. IMHO, they are optimal at 20-30 years of age - which is right where the OP's wines are now - and I agree, that the older ones are NOT best paired with sweet desserts, but things that have a contrasting flavor to them like blue cheese, or nothing at all.
