January 21, 2022 - Found a last single bottle when re-arranging the cellar. Certainly past its peak, but still very enjoyable, especially for those not frightened away by a little edge of oxidation. Rich, tropical fruit combined with good acidity and freshness. This wine was never meant to last for 21 years, but this bottle certainly did!

September 29, 2020 - Buttery, honeyed deliciousness. Smooth and rich. French oak was well integrated but still present. All the hallmarks of an exceptionally well-made wine and good cellaring

February 6, 2016 - Medium yellow-gold color. Tropical fruit, peach-skin, grated hazelnut and some pebbles in the nose. Smooth and powerful on the palate with intense yellow fruit (young apricot) notes and good acidity (fresh), thus a great balance. Attractive bottle in excellent condition. Drink now or within the coming three years.

May 26, 2010 - Nicely developed wine with an enormous amount of ripe tropical fruits and spreading through the whole mouth. Rich. Long finish.

March 28, 2010 - Musty, mango and pineapple fill the nose with a wet slate overtone. The taste is rich and honeyed, with a strong overtone of ripe mango and lemon. I thought this would be flabby and faded with age, but it's just the opposite. This wine has aged gracefully, like a beautiful Meursault and still has some fruitand acidity left in it. I am very very impressed with how well this wine aged. It won't go much further, but it doesn't need to for the price: $23. I'll buy a few more of these.
