April 28, 2024 - {screwcap, 9.5%} Full-sized bottle, which has staved off the premature aging that this wine tends to show in this century's vintages. This example is straight from central casting, with a darkening coppery colour. Copper flavours too, apricot, lots of botrytis, medium-sweet, fullish bodied flavour. Still enough acidity to keep it fresh. Medium length finish. Right at peak - drink now.

December 25, 2023 - A great spectrum of tastes. Very dense. Honey , dry apricot. Great dessert. Just final point in any meal

January 28, 2021 - not yet half way between its primary glace fruit phase and liquid caramel. A few years to go for that so what you get is glace pineapple, apricot essence and tinned peaches in syrup both nose and palate. You sense it needs a few more years to evolve to the midway point which for me is the sweet spot for these stickies. The stelvin screwcap has certainly slowed down their development. Will ultimately be very good but not great as the sugar outpoints the acid a tad meaning it misses the nervosity required for greatness.
