January 9, 2021 - Light amber color
Intense aromas of tangerine/ beeswax and nutty oxidation
Medium plus palate - dense wall of candied orange peel with dried floral character and slightly rancid nuts
High acidity and high alcohol to my palate (15%) , which is driving this wine today - Medium plus finish
Dry glass notes of nuts and honey
This is drinking well now but could prob last for many years
A contemplative wine, prob not the best with food IMO
I am generally a fan of these wines, though I know opinion is quite divided - I did find this example to be slightly dominated by alcohol -

January 6, 2021 - Single blind tasting
Dark gold, unfiltered
Aromatics medium +. Pleasantly oxidized notes of almonds, honey and honeycomb
Palate medium. Acid high with a clear crescendo character. No phenolics. Alcohol medium + to high. Nuts, honey and bitter/burnt orange rind
Finish has medium + length. Balance towards the alcohol, lacks fruit which for me drove the score down.
Dry glass notes of nuts and honey
Drink now
Clearly a cerebral wine to enjoy/contemplate on its own

December 15, 2010 (link)(Coulée de Serrant) An incredible glass of wine, featuring bold aromas of ripe banana, baked quince, caramel, hazelnuts, juicy pineapple, and clove. There’s a strong honeyed element, but it never becomes sweet. A full, rich palate, texturally magnificent, is complemented by poignant minerality and lively, playful acidity. The more oxygen the wine sees, the more complex it becomes. It’s certainly built to age, but if you’re going to drink it now, you should decant it six to 24 hours in advance.
