Honeyed apricot and somewhat floral nose. Rich and dense flavors. Medium acidity, maybe a touch lacking in structure. Missing some verve and punch. I like the Secs at at this age a bit more.

Le nez est explosif, pierre à fusil, silex mais aussi du fruit, poire, note de mirabelle puis le coing commence à poindre mais ce n'est pas ce qui domine. Des épices, peut-être safran. Le vin est superbe en bouche, se déployant avec assurance, droit, net avec avec le confort du sucre qui reste dans un bel équilibre. Parfait avec le gateau au pamplemousse

Great. apple blossoms, nice white orchard fruits, a touch of waxy earthiness beneath. Nice weight enhanced by the bit of sweetness. In great balance today.

Popped and poured. After about twenty minutes the nose comes out to play showing lovely notes of apricot, honeysuckle, and cinnamon. The wine is fully mature, medium to full bodied, nicely balanced, waxy- with that slightly oxidized style you sometimes see in Chenin but retaining compelling orchard fruit flavors. This will hold at this level for another five years at least but it is definitely at peak now.
