  April 24, 2023 - Vertical at Château de Rayne-Vigneau (sur place): Nose made me think of Cointreau or possibly well aged Cognac, although there was certainly marmalade. Quite spicy on the midpalate where there was power but a bit 1D and with less bandwidth than other vintages tasted at the vertical.

  July 11, 2020 - White peaches, flowers, vanilla, apricot, pineapple and honey tones pop as soon as the cork leaves the glass. Sweet, but with ample to provide lift, allowing you to enjoy the array of tropical fruits, vanilla and honey in the finish.

  February 25, 2019 - Amsterdam UGCB Tasting and Winemakers' Dinner (Beurs van Berlage / Café De Klepel): Floral, elegant, tropical fruit, orange zest, quite a firm tannic structure but in keeping with the weight of fruit. Cracking stuff.

  November 24, 2018 - At a tasting of 40+ 2016's last month
  Good everyday sauternes. No vices and no superlatives. You won't be disappointed, except at the price.
