  Quite ripe style with notes of candied banana, white flower and honeycomb. Luscious palate filled with notes of blood orange, honey, and mango. Showing well for such a hot vintage as 2015.

  Premier nez discret, après agitation, goyave, cantaloup, banane.
  En bouche, rondeur, acidité faible, saveur de pêche blanche, poire mûre, finale légèrement poivré.
  Un peu cher ...
  Ne pas trop attendre pour consommer.

  Bright golden yellow with medium optical density and brilliant, bright reflectivity. Really enticing nose that jumps out of the glass, showing ripe banana, pineapple, and some lighter floral notes underneath a few ripe melon notes. Really intense and candied nose! On the palate it shows a full body, medium minus acidity, with a dense, concentrated mouthfeel. Very fine-grained texture with a creamy and taught framework. Flavours of mixed ripe pineapple (without the bite), light melon (honeydew mostly), honey, and some flower pedal infused tangerine- all dipped in light cream. Very intense flavours here overall, with decent complexity. The only short-coming of this robust wine is perhaps missing a bit of acidity, but still plenty vibrant. Just heading toward a very ripe and overly glycerine style perhaps.... but still really tasty and delicious and very nice to have with food.
  
  Big, robust, ripe white here, with intense and honeyed fruit and cream. Certainly well made and I think ready to drink.

  Full bodied, complex wine. Pale yellow straw colour, aromas of pineapple and ripe melon fill the glass. The tropical fruits combine with oak and an sherry/ oxidized flavour. Long woodsy finish. I think this wine will benefit from another 1-2 years in bottle to mellow the rich flavours flavours.

  Rich pale yellow with medium optical density and high reflectivity. Powerful nose of candied tropicals and light citrus and some cream. Flavours are also intense, with some creamy over ripe pineapple and rich fruits. Really nice!
