February 5, 2024 - Good but while there’s an abundance of apple, blood orange, and licorice fruit on nose and palate. Very good boytritis yeast and greasy baked bread. Hold until 2026 (?)

November 14, 2023 - Dark golden in color with a gorgeous nose.
Medium plus in body with high acidity to balance the sugars.
Showing honey, yellow apples, apricots, tropical fruits, spices, mangoes and honeydew.
Long finish with honey and brown sugar.
What a fabulous tasting sweet wine from Bordeaux. Delicious right out of the bottle.
This 20 year old is showing great complexity at this point. A fantastic sweet wine. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
I've had a few different vintages of this wine and this is one of the better vintages I've had.
Gorgeous by itself as a dessert.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
96 points.
$80. -

November 4, 2023 - Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): Super concentrated sweet yellow fruit, apricot dominates, also mango, peach, honey, crème brulee and sweet spices. Exceptional concentration but a bit heavy and one dimensional.
