Speziell und sehr besonders - ich mag das, aber sehr fordernd, fast kompliziert und umfänglich nach Aufmerksamkeit benötigend - ungeteilt. Für Philosophische Diskurse geeignet.
Leicht alkoholische Nase und mir etwas zu brandig im Abgang - könnte an den 15 Volt liegen. :-)

Mystery wine evening (Restaurant Lion's, Stuttgart): Glass: Unsuited white wine glass Popped and poured. Medium golden color with a pink hue. Ripe nose with some honey, spices, wax. Deep and dense, a bit oxidative. On the palate quite hot with 15%abv. Spicy, very mineral, honey, botrytis notes. Very salty, oxidative. Good tension and length. This is not an easy drinking wine. It needs focus and attention and most likely food. It is not really my style as it is too massive and hot. But certainly well made. 90-91

Dark gold color Medium plus aromas - intense honeyed ripe fruit - peach and melon Very slight oxidative quality to the aroma and what I get as definitive botrytis aromas Palate is completely dry but in a strange way the flavors echo aromas except that one would expect something with some RS which this does not have by any means The palate is well balanced but a little simple in contrast to the nose Medium plus acidity and great length - definitely note the high alcohol but not overwhelming Drinking well now but has years ahead of it

Single blind tasting Gold color, clear Medium + aromatics of honey, ripe peach and secondary almond notes. Botrytis quality with slight oxidative features. Impressive aromatics Medium palate with medium + acidity. Raw walnuts, with some phenolic bitterness and oxidative secondary qualities. Medium finish. Slight disconnect between amazing aromatics and less complex palate, put still a very unique and enjoyable wine.

Deep 24k gold color. Mineral, crushed rocks nose with a faint citrus aspect. Notes are similar - limes, minerals, and a bit of egg white. Fantastic oily texture that balances well with the acids. One of the better Joly’s I’ve had in a while. I think it will last additional decades.

The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are medium. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity. Beautiful wine

SLDS December 2017: Golden coloured. Stem, orange, quince and celery notes. Funky flavoured, with really good texture and nice cutting acidity. Wild but not overdone on the oxidative characters. Real interest here.

Still big, rich and oily. Terrific palate pressure that is pillowy and dense. Flavors of Peach and honey and real sense of salinity. The back end shows a wiry acidity and some structure that leaves you with the impression that the wine is still wound up. Good, getting better. Still young to me.

4 - Opened for 5 days. Medium gold. Tea, lychee, gasoline, tropical fruits, honey, lots of flowers, medium acidity, medium+ body but clean and pure. Pleasant bittersweet long finish of lychee and longan. Hint of nuts still.

Gorgeous amber-cold color. Mineral water on the nose, emphasis on the mineral. Honeyed texture, heavy minerality, lovely. Should have many years in front of it.

Coming along nicely. Fragrant nose that exudes beyond the glass. Still shows an oily baby fat that provides for an unctuous texture. It's rich and honeyed, with some white fruit flavors. I get peach. If you concentrate, you can sense how it is still wound rather tight. Needs some time, ideally, but very drinkable in a young Joly way.

Big, fat, rich, unctuous, honey, fruit. A little clunky. Some acid to balance it out but not hot at all. Probably way too young. Will most likely mellow with age. Not so impressed to go and get more of this vintage though it drank just fine if you want a young Joly.

App: Straw yellow Aroma: Complex aroma of honney, spices and fruits Full bodied and distinct acidity. Concentrated palate with load of minerals Very god length

Dark straw yellow Aroma: dry citrus fruits, minerals and honey, and a little touch of oxidation, which I guess will disappear with some decanting Full bodied and acidic. Some bitterness on the palate with a touch of raspberry and rubber. Very good length
