  July 28, 2021 - Deep bronze dessert wine. Dried fruits, honey, caramel & salt on the nose. Complex tastes of dried fruits & honey, very long & sweet finish.

  June 30, 2009 - Quite nice for non madame. Rich creamy creme brulee like flavors. Not cloying or heavy, but nice concentration. A very enjoyable way to end a night of 1998 Bordeaux at Intro Retro.

  September 19, 2003 - A heavenly night of Pichon!!! (Seattle, WA, USA): A sauternes style blend, this is unctuous stuff. A slight edge of nail polish. This wine is remarkably sweet with a syrupy texture. Wow! I found it a bit cloying on the first night, but the day old leftovers are opening now and showing gorgeous notes of honey with some peach. Much nicer on day 2. This is some sweet nectar!

  August 5, 2003 - Tasted at home, Definately not a massive as the Cuvee Madame from 95 but a nice desert wine that is probably better suited for serving in the fall than in early August. Was very thick, with a golden straw color. Very smooth flavors of raineer cherry, honey and melon. It will be interesting to see how this ages.
