40th anniversary tasting (L'Esprit du Vin - Axelborg): My notes from this fantastic gigantic tasting are in general extremely short (because of the many wines) but with ratings. We spent a whole day tasting and tasting quality wines.
This wine: Tasted 3 vintages: 2014, 2013, 2009. Unfortunately I have almost no verbal notes but they were all excellent. 2014: 92. 2013: Herbaceous 93. 2009: First bottle was oxidized, second bottle was very oxidative but not too old. I loved it but drink now! I am not experienced with Joly but the wines were served by the winemaker himself, so I believe the wine's advanced development stage has nothing to do with storage conditions.

Tasting with Dirk & Sean (Home, Utrecht): Medium+ intensity with oxidative/sherry notes, dried apple, nutty, bruised yellow apple, honey. High acidity, long finish. 92-93
Kept developing in the glass and even better on day 2. Luckily two more bottles left
