  March 29, 2024 - Wonderful wine, still fresh, tropical fruit, apricot, almost enough acidity to be spectacular. Plenty of life remaining.

  December 9, 2018 - Wine was spectacularly good. Intense pineapple, dried apricot and honey with botrytis. Lifted by great acidity and flowers. Had with semi savory dessert (foie gras cheesecake with brioche toasts). Unreal combo.

  February 17, 2018 - An unctuous and pure extract... intense dried apricot on the nose, the palate showing that plus mandarin orange, ginger, cardamon and spice. From half bottle, maybe a touch less complex as from full bottle.

  July 26, 2014 - M+M's Housewarming BBQ (Malvern Springs): From a 375ml. A beautiful wine – this was a great way to end a great night. It had a beautiful nose, a lot more expressive and giving than the 2002 Rotenberg Vendange Tardive that was served together. This soared out of the glass with rich, sweet honey tones and wafts of tropical fruits, with pineapples and lychees, traced with a little chalky mineral. Quite surprisingly though, the palate had such beautiful acidity and balance that it actually came across less sweet than 2002 VT, beautifully juicy notes of mandarin oranges coated with honey and treacle. The flavours were still very primary, but they were carried effortlessly on deep rivers of acidity that were woven into the seams of the wine. Wonderfully elegant, effortless stuff – this will be ageless. Great finish too – long and muscular, with a nice chalky minerality. Just lovely stuff. It has the balance and poise to drink well now, but this is one that will keep growing for decades to come.
