  Cork was saturated and the first whiff in the glass had a hint of wet cardboard. It thankfully blew off quickly, revealing notes of candied orange and white peach. Flavors of sweet navel orange are accented by sweet peaches, but there's not quite enough acidity to keep this from dancing with becoming cloying. Tasty, but not as great as I'd hoped.

  Voir commentaire précédent. Dommage que cette cuvée ne soit plus disponible au Canada.

  La surprise de la soirée
  Belle apparence jaune doré, densité moyenne.
  Nez ouvert, miel de sarazin, sucre d'orge sur pomme, peu de notes minérales et surtout pas d'excès dans les notes prétrolées.
  En bouche, le vin est ample avec une rondeur, les saveurs sont en continuités avec le bouquet, une fine trame acidulé et un très faible alcool maintient le vin digeste.
  Excellent accord avec le foie gras (Merci Sylvie !)

  From a half. Stone fruit and dried fruits on the bouquet and palate, along with fine deli mustard. Very tasty. Acid is fairly low though and this should be consumed within the next couple of years IMO. 90-91.

  Beautiful golden color. Nose suggested the wine's richness with dried apricots and some fresh peach. Very complex on the palate with candied/dried stone fruit, dark honey and balanced acidity allowing all the flavors to come through without being too sweet. Though this wine will age nicely for 10-20 more years I bought more to have in the near future!
