  Excellent, but less multi-dimensional than I expected - perhaps the acidity has faded a little too much. Sorry I did not take proper notes for this solitary half-bottle I have been hording for two decades!

  From a 375ml bottle
  Amber color
  Nose is sweet apricots and pineapple cake with a little grapefruit.
  The palate is unctuous with very-ripe pineapple, lemon and honey. A hint of sherry suggests any remaining 375ml bottles should be drunk. The sweetness overwhelms a bit and there really isn't the acidity to balance it.
  Overall a lovely wine and great accompaniment to a cheese course but on the cloying end of the spectrum and maybe not the best example from this Domaine

  so good, soooooo so so so good, honey, spice, mushrooms, petrichor, diverse cooked fruits, full and rich on the palate, certainly sweet, but not sticky, great acidity and minerality, clear but totally integrated botrytis, complex and long, I love this wine

  Absolutely stunning with lots of botrytis and so well balanced acidity and sweetness. Will easily keep for another ten years.

  This is drinking extremely well right now.
  Intense botrytis character and complexity but also sufficient acidity to balance the RS; very long and pleasing. Should hold on for at least 5-10 years.
