  Rich, golden and with an apricot aroma. Full bodied, with sufficient acidity to balance the buttery, slightly waxy effect on the palate. Apricot and cooked apple. Lovely finish and good length. We all thought this was superb.

  Coravin sample. Apricots, apples, wax, cream, vanilla and honey. Rich and powerful in the mouth but low acidity. Its 15% alcohol makes its way and to me eats away some of the balance. Still it has a certain lift and appeal, even though I miss the acidity. As an earlier tasting note remarked, it lacks tension. Tasted on its own without food and maybe that's what is missing. Will try out with some rich chicken dish or something next time. Until then I'm not quite sure what to make of this type of wine. Good quality and a top producer though! I'm a bit sad I didn't like it more...

  Consistent with note from a year ago only better. Rich with some nice extract. My last bottle and I can't see it getting better.

  Gorgeous unctuous wine. I didn't detect any heat with this bottle.

  C'est loin d'être mon blanc préféré, il manque de tension et d'élégance pour çà, mais dans son genre, c'est un beau vin sur la puissance, les fruits jaunes. Il est prêt à boire, il virera sur des notes de champignons si on le garde encore quelques années. Très bien, plaît beaucoup, mais son niveau actuel de prix ne m'incite pas à en racheter.
