  Noah's. A really good bottle. Terrific wine. Still all about mineral and lime.

  Sampled from magnum. From 2013 and onwards the “cuvee” was dropped from the label, grapes were sourced from 2 vineyards
  The wine shows fully developed profile, overripe stone fruit, tropical fruit notes, apricot, pineapple, apple jam, tin peach (some botrytis notes), spice, decadent, old school, some rubbery notes.
  Palate is light, a bit hot (which is strange), tin apricot, tin peach, pear jam, med to high acidity, feels short, some rubbery notes in the med finish

  Part of Cuvée Frédéric Emile vertical 2023-04-19:
  Deep golden color. High intensity.
  On the nose, there is lots of honey, saffron, petroleum, almond, and lemon peel.
  The taste includes honey, lemon peel, and saffron with a very long, enjoyable finish.
  One participant thought this wine was too mature.

  Needed a lot of air possibly even consider decanting but it eventually demonstrated toasted orange and pine nuts. Delicious

  Quite the interesting drinking experience. Gold, almost orange. Lots of petrol and also some nuttiness.
