I liked the fruit and the flavors but there was a near dearth of acidity. So, it could play only one note that tired quickly. My conclusion is that this was a result of the vintage's intense heat rather than age.

Medium honey-gold hue. Notes of spun sugar, toasted marshmallow, allspice, honey, apricot syrup. Very nice. Group's SECOND PLACE among white wines tonight.

I had coravined a couple small glasses from this bottle 2 months ago and then opened it 2 weeks ago for a small taste but not taken any notes. This evening I pulled the bottle from the refrigerator to have with a dessert of fresh strawberries, whipped cream and an apple caramel cake. The wine was delicious with it. It was a brilliant, medium to dark golden yellow color. The nose was rather explosive with ripe stone fruit, floral notes of various kinds and a distinct honey caramel. All of these also showed through on the palate as well. Others have noted a lack of acidity, but I didn’t sense that this was out of balance at all. Classic Baumard Quarts de Chaume, I think the long slow aeration in the refrigerator did it well. A fortuitous accident. But instructive. Exquisite!

Slightly oxidized. Well past its prime.
