August 21, 2023 - First note right off the bat was green olives in the most delightful way. Then came the apricot, honeycomb, pine tips, and honeydew melon and - wow. What a stunner.
Sweet for sure, but balanced with an incredible lip-stinging acidity. Dangerously delicious. And so, so young still at this 12 year old stage.1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 17, 2022 - Tasted blind. Not too sweet, like a typical German Auslese, but great acidity and notes of melon, lemon peel and grapefruit. Lovely.

October 25, 2020 - Beau nez de petit manseng exotique qui truffe un peu, même si je m’attendais à plus complexe et plus original, c’est un peu classique dans le bien fait…
La bouche riche en sucre présente une acidité appuyée, on est bien sur l’equilibre typique des Jurançon, tout en fruits et en tension. Il semble promis a un bel avenir tant il ne devoile aucune trace d’évolution du hayt de ses 9 ans (le so2 le fige un peu sans doute).2 people found this helpful Comment -

June 21, 2020 - Dagueneau Babylone has a distinctive ripe pineapple and dry haystack nose that is unmissable. Tasted blind and instantly thought of Dagueneau Babylone. A fresh and dense array of pineapple, haystack, lychee and bee wax. Slightly sweet with very good acidity and body. A sweet wine that I don’t find too cloying, very enjoyable. Babylone, Daguenaau? 2008? (88/100)
