  Still very fresh. This will last a while. Starting to get a petrol backdrop behind honey and green apple.

  excellent sweetie with good pop and bright acidity to accompany the honied-apricot and blood orange and lanolin notes. Long and super flavorful. Prefer this often even over a good Sauterne. Fantastic. EWG Loire dinner at Otono

  Rich, sweet, viscous, apricots, honeyed. Could use a touch, more acidity, but drinking pretty good. From .375ml

  I brought this along with the 2005 Rieussec to a tasting with a novice group. Screw cap. Last tasted in 2018 (not 2008). Time has been good to this wine.
  
  The color was just a shade lighter than the Rieussec - like a Hawaiian sunset with a couple hours of daylight, honey. Nose was a pretty floral, citrusy, lychee, which all transitioned to the palate. There was a sweetness to it but was framed with a tangerine-like acid that made the wine felt lighter than the Rieussec although the sweetness level felt the same. Some blue cheese and crackers make a terrific dessert.
