no rating as this was ruined in some way (not corked)...flat and flaccid, tasted a bit sour as well. Both bottles I purchased from this vendor were off.

La Ronde's note is spot-on for my btl as well. On the nose: caramel and pear, honey with a touch of toast. On the palate: ok acidity, apricot, marmelade, caramel. Finish is a touch short, but an excellent example from the vintage imo.

This was not an academic exercise. Deep gold with almost amber tinge, nose like pear tarts, toasted. Full bodied and feeling like it's higher in alcohol than the label states (13%). The signature waxiness has evolved into a caramel quality, but caramel without sweetness. Dried stone fruits. So good. Drink or hold for maybe another couple, three years.

Interesting wine - deep golden. I'm not sure if it's too old or in a weird spot. Not unenjoyable, but more academic than a pleasure. At least to me.
