  Super rich, dark gold color. Bitter honey on the nose. Sweet just short of cloying/dessert wine with introductory notes of cumin and turmeric along with bitter honey and diluted sweet corn notes. Long, very sweet finish with Indian spices and sweet dried apricots. Matched perfectly with Szechuan peppercorn duck breast and mashed potatoes.

  Light orange hue. Sweet slightly burnt orange and sweet marmalade on the nose. Bonkers delicious with notes of navel orange, creamsicle, mineral honey, and a long sweet mineral finish. DELICIOUS.

  Légère sucrosité pour ce vin immense de longueur. 92 sur 100.

  Complex nose on candied fruits, honey and gingerbread.
  
  The mouth is a model of balance. 70 / 80g of residual sugar? Impossible there is so much freshness and tension. The juice is dense, it is concentrated but slender, with all the elements perfectly integrated and a candied mandarin that stands out clearly. Nice finish in the register of finesse where we can imagine a certain saturation. At the end of the evening on a beautiful dessert it goes by itself.
  
  It's excellent

  SLDS April 2021: Orange peel, lemon, lime, peach and pear - plenty happening aromatically. Lovely delicacy on the palate, good energy and brightness but has the composure and confidence from some development. In a lovely spot now but no rush either.
