December 30, 2023 - Excellent, but less multi-dimensional than I expected - perhaps the acidity has faded a little too much. Sorry I did not take proper notes for this solitary half-bottle I have been hording for two decades!

February 10, 2023 - From a 375ml bottle
Amber color
Nose is sweet apricots and pineapple cake with a little grapefruit.
The palate is unctuous with very-ripe pineapple, lemon and honey. A hint of sherry suggests any remaining 375ml bottles should be drunk. The sweetness overwhelms a bit and there really isn't the acidity to balance it.
Overall a lovely wine and great accompaniment to a cheese course but on the cloying end of the spectrum and maybe not the best example from this Domaine -

January 15, 2023 - la Gloire de la Loire...
so good, soooooo so so so good, honey, spice, mushrooms, petrichor, diverse cooked fruits, full and rich on the palate, certainly sweet, but not sticky, great acidity and minerality, clear but totally integrated botrytis, complex and long, I love this wine -

November 26, 2022 - Absolutely stunning with lots of botrytis and so well balanced acidity and sweetness. Will easily keep for another ten years.

June 21, 2021 - This is drinking extremely well right now.
Intense botrytis character and complexity but also sufficient acidity to balance the RS; very long and pleasing. Should hold on for at least 5-10 years.2 people found this helpful Comment
