Glue nose, extreme levels of botrytis, and extreme low yields, this one reeks of the sugar knights of old. Still, people were in doubt if these extreme wines would be able to keep for long, and I think it has proven positive. I have had many of the Pierre Bise, Patrick Baudoin and Jo Pithon over the years dating back to 1997 and they seem to keep pretty well albeit will not develop much complexity.

Overly sweet but with good typical chenin acidity. Blockbuster sugar bomb.

Ledbury lunch (The Ledbury, London): Bruised apple sweetness, surprisingly resolved a bit lacking in energy
