{375ml, screwcap, 11%} Deep yellow/gold. Lovely botrytis nose of apricots & marmalade, with a semillon sweetness showing an aging quality. The palate is quite developed now compared to a few years ago; there's a real burnished quality to the flavours. It's pleasant and enjoyable, but whatever complexity it had is fading now, and this is ready to drink. Good medium-bodied wine in a richly decaying mould.

Definitely aging now. There are distinct brassy/burnished aspects to the quince/apricot/botrytis fruits here. There's still a little acid holding it together, and the flavours are aging pleasingly, but the structure feels pretty loose. Get into this quickly now.

{375ml, screwcap, 11%} Brilliant gold. Almost desperately luscious, and developing, nose. Full flavours of apricot and marmalade, with a little brulee character coming with some years in bottle now. Tangy palate, richly sweet, adding orange rind flavours and plenty of botrytis. Much developed just lately; recommend drinking within 2 years lest it turn to flab.

Strong nose of molasses and tar that follows onto the palate, turning into an intense toffee sweetness.

Robe assez claire, sucré, assez épais, toujours aussi bon, coule bien, belle expression.
