February 4, 2018 - Très joli nez sur l'écorce d'orange et l'abricot. Bouche qui manque de puissance et longeur

November 14, 2017 - Maybe below the everage level of the class. Lacks both acidity and sweetness. Pity.
闻起来除了贵腐酒常见的味道以外还有一股子芥末味儿,区别于生姜,大概也是贵腐的味道。酸度和甜度都不太行了,买的时候先查了分数,本来也没报期待,就这样吧。1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 4, 2013 - Good quality Sauternes with light gold color, the nose is reasonably intense, showing good complexity of sultana, orange peel, apricot, honey, cedar and honeysuckle. Medium sweet, it has a nice acidity supporting a good refreshing palate of reasonable concentration of apricot, toast, honey and caramel, orange marmalade and honeysuckle. It is an easy-drinking dessert wine which can be drunk without accompanying food. With a reasonable finish, it is ready to drink now though can benefit from further ageing of another 2-3 years.

November 19, 2011 - There isn’t enough sweetness here to balance the quite prominent acidity this wine has. Even if the mouthfeel at first gives a somewhat nice impression of a Sauternes, the aftertaste is weirdly almost dry and not at all pleasant. Not worthy of anybody’s attention.

September 11, 2008 - Mid Sep 2008: exotic fruits, honey; gorgeous interplay of acid and sweetness on the palate.
Served to Confit de Canard avec Brioche.
