February 19, 2024 - Didn't take notes, but really enjoyed this (375 ml bottle) a few days ago. All the parts seemed to be integrating well already. Stonefruit and tropical fruit were there in great balance with the acidity, orange notes and tobacco. Dangerously easy to drink, glad to have another bottle (A-).

November 19, 2023 - Golden, appears darker than expected of its age. White flowers and mild botrytis on the nose. Unctuous, with some tartness towards the end to balance out the sweetness. Easy to like, albeit a little 2 dimensional.

December 25, 2022 - Vibrant gold in color
Sweet honey, stone fruit nose. Honeysuckle notes.
Unctuous. Nicely balanced. Long finish. Loads of stewed white fruit. Concentrated flavor profile. Tastes like the nose. Really nice closer for the price.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! -

May 2, 2022 - Color: Light gold straw (from 375 ml).
Nose: Beautiful perfumey nose of honey, fresh pear, white peach, and a touch of pineapple.
Pal: Medium body, good concentration, good acidity. Sweet but not quite as sweet or unctuous as in "great" vintages ('11, '09, '01). 2016 is a lighter vintage but still a very good one.
This is delicious by itself. Or with a good blue cheese (Roquefort, Stilton, Fourme d'Ambert, Maytag, Jasper Hill).
Great value at $20-25 (USD)!
90-91 pts.
Drinking window: Now-2030 (from 375 ml).
