Just incredible! Amber in appearance, with notes of maple syrup, caramel, and creme brulee on the nose, followed by a profoundly massive and rich package and of decadent tropical fruit flavors that linger on the palate for ages. Sweet, but the richness, expressiveness, and complexity is what shines. Great now, and likely great for ages to come.

PnP fr 375ml. I'm repeating myself but, bear with me! Very golden color. Great nose of honey, honeysuckle and marmalade. Wonderful palate of honey and orange peel. Great velvety, viscous texture. Superbly balanced sweetness and acidity. Long finish. Opened two nights ago and it was this. T+2 and this is even slightly better! I really love this, and should probably keep my hands off my small remaining balance :)

Cristal Night; 9/6/2023-9/8/2023: A bit heavy and straightforward. Missing the balancing acidity of the 2008

Mmmm, white pepper, peach, marzipan, syrupy intensity, great botrytis, an impressive wine that has barely budged in 17 years.
