  December 17, 2023 - Ouf pas bouchonné comme le 90 récemment....Bouquet intense de coing,d'amandes amères et de notes végétales.Bouche stricte,de bonne trame mais avec un côté légèrement sucraillon qui pourrait faire penser à un demi-sec alors que le vin est parfaitement sec.Longueur finale tout à fait correcte.Il a été décanté 6 heures avant consommation.A mon sens serait plus à l'aise sur un repas comme un brochet au beurre blanc plutôt qu'en dégustation pure.

  April 22, 2022 - Cork 90% soaked through, the last bit broke off even with the Durand. Pours the color of single malt whisky. Quite volatile on the nose. Acidity is very high, shrill, has a metallic edge. There is an overwhelming dried apricot flavor, that while not unpleasant, is overpowered by a wash of nail polish remover. Finish is long and tastes like chemicals (ironic for this uber-biodynamic wine). 2-3 hrs in the decanter smoothed it out a bit, though still not very pleasant.
  
  But I know this wine can come around with extended air time. 75% of the wine went back into the bottle and I'll taste it again tomorrow. Will report back...

  February 20, 2022 - Quite difficult to rate. Consumed it over several days and there was a clear improvement over time. On the first day it was oxidised and the acidity was dominating to the point where it became aggressive and unpleasant. On the following days it became more coherent and balanced. The acidity was tamed and orange zest, honey, baking spice, negroni, fudge, bread and old madeira would appear. Lengthy, acidic finish. Probably a keeper. If drinking now, plenty of air.
  
  Drink or keep.

  December 1, 2021 - Very sweet to the point of tasting like off dry wine. I mean it was actually quite tasty, but is that correct?
