A fascinating review of these wines 16 years on. As might have been expected following 2002 these were not at quite the same level. As a generalisation the noses of the wines offered more than the palates could deliver. Suspect many will benefit from another 5 years or so. Happy to have a few of these but won't be rushing out to fill the cellar with more.
Great to meet Kevin and try a couple of fascinating and different sweet wines at the end of the evening.
I do love these Burgundy horizontals.
Thanks to Nick for his sterling work organising them.

First of my bottles of this, last sampled the wine a couple of year ago. Lovely fine boned nose with lemon posset, some lime oil and torn croissant. Palate has lovely mouthfeel and persistence. With time there is some pineapple stalk to the nose. Excellent fizz.
