  Deep gold in color. Takes a long time to come around in the glass showing deep aromas of petrol, apricots, honey, vanilla and toast. A rich and ripe mouth full of ripe tangerine and apricot marmalade, brown spices, good acidity, some residual sweetness and a long honeyed and caramel aftertaste.

  Kleur: Diep goudgeel, honing-kleurig Aroma / bouquet: Geen fruitaroma's (primair) of gistings-aroma's (secundair). Het bouquet is vooral tertiair. Snuffelwijn. Een wijn om langdurig aan te snuffelen. Tonen van honing, kokos, gist, caramel, kaarsvet, petroleum en maggi. Smaak / Afdronk: Wow. Dit is groots. Verfrissende zuurgraad. Dikke en sappige wijn. Het mondgevoel lijkt op dat van een zoete wijn, maar volledig droog. Algemeen / potentieel: Veel smaak. En veel complexiteit. Geen spoor van zoet. Eten en drinken tegelijkertijd. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 16 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 91/100

The mouth feel is similar to that of a sweet wine, but completely dry. General / potential: Lots of flavor. And much complexity. No trace of sweet. Food and drink at the same time. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Finish: 16 + General / potential: 8 = 91/100

  Smoky aromas with honey, exotic fruits and some petroleum. Semi sweet, fullbodied and well balanced with fine acidity. Fully mature. More structured and better than the 2002.

  () Kleur: Vol goudgeel Aroma / bouquet: Wow, indrukwekkend bouquet. Uitgesproken goût de petrol, gele appeltjes, honing, kokos, abrikozencompôte, gist, kaarsvet. Smaak / Afdronk: Krachtig zure aanzet, dik-sappig, hint van overrijpe gele appel, super-geconcentreerd maar geen spoor van zoet. Prachtig. Algemeen / potentieel: Geweldig mooie wijn. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 92/100

  Stunning nose of petrol mixed with honeyed brioches and wet stone. Stunning taste, really mouthfull but never tiring, the acidity lifts all flavors. Kudos to Olivier.
