My friend served me this wonderful wine from a bottle opened the previous night at a dinner tasting. I've had this vintage of QDC before, and it is an outstanding bottle. This example blew me away, an incredibly concentrated complex and well-aged dessert wine. Outstanding.

A gathering of great wine and beef (Chez moi): Enjoyed this very much. My principle reference point for sweet Chenin is Gigou's Jasnières. This is richer and creamier. Not to say that it isn't fresh and bright. Paired nicely with a selection of cheeses and a peach galette. Should develop further over time.

Great Champagne and Burgundy Dinner (Park Ridge Country Club): From 375 ml bottle. Possibly the least powerful of the 4 vintages, but the best balanced. Mango, peach and candied orange peel with a bit of apple, all well supported by good minerality.

Apricot, some baking spice on finish. A bit riper and opulent than some other vintages of this we have had. Nice compliment to a Zingermans pumpkin cheesecake

Lighter style, refreshing and bright on the palate. Possibly lacking some complexity
