WOW! What a phenomenal bottle that completely surprised us! Popped, poured, and consumed over 24 hours. Immediately accessible. Etherial nose of orange blossom and coriander. Rich, but refined, palate of orange caramel with a medium finish - a little shorter the second night. Seriously good stuff that right now is going toe-to-toe with the best Sauternes--but will it hold up as long as they do? Time will tell, but we intend to find out!

With a 7 hour Audoze, this was a real treat. Perfect with nuts and biscotti, to the point that the (500ml) bottle got drained. In its plateau now, and for the next 10+ years, easy. Take your time with this one, it's meditative. Brilliant acidity that (again) carries the day. recommended
Served non-blind.

Beautiful nost of toffee, nuts and caramel. Everyone loved this. Incredibly smooth. Long finish. A few folks compared this to a fine sauternes.

Very good, typical for this producer. Relatively unevolved but quite spirity, a slight chill helps. Perhaps these just sort of dry out with age.

Excellent, d'intenses notes de noix, une grosse liqueur, pas d'oxydation. Super bouteille.
