December 10, 2023 - Loved this. Very elegant, great depth of fruit. Most elegant Tarlant I've had I think. Sometimes they can be inscrutable

August 4, 2023 - Nice bruised apples notes, tertiary, very aromatic. The oxidation is well judge here, something that I could not say for the 2004 Cuvée Loise and 2002 Vigne d'Antan.

December 31, 2022 - Nice toasty notes, biscuity graham, and sharp acid rounded out with chocolate malt. Superb.

December 5, 2022 - SAC: 2002 Retrospective: Tasting more of this producer recently who has almost prematurely aged wines (which can work for me since I like older wine). This was in that same vein. Probably the most ready to drink of the group.
