    January 5, 2024 - Delicious. Golden honey notes on the nose and palate. Drinking beautifully, but still has a decade plus.

    December 25, 2023 - Rich, deep golden colour, like a beautifully oiled cricket bat! Nose is sugared orange and apricot. Palate is unctuous but balanced with a decent finish, not overly complex but lovely nonetheless

    December 19, 2023 - 이 와인을 마시고 난 지금도 소테른은 너무 어렵다.
    그래도 다행인건 단맛으로 계속 치고 나가는 토카이나 아이스바인보다야 좀 낫다.
    결론을 얘기하면 그래도 소테른 5명 이상이 마시는 걸로.

    노즈에서는 (동의할지 모르겠지만) 페트롤 비슷한 향이 느껴졌다.
    이어서 약간 버터 비슷한 향도 느껴지는데 왜 그런지는 모르겠다.
    꿀 향기가 이어서 느껴지는데 약간 꿀에 절인 복숭아(?) 이런 느낌에 가깝다.

    팔렛에서는 꿀물을 타서 마시는 것 같기도 하다가 이어지는 산도가 괜찮다.
    달기만 했다면 쉽지 않았을텐데 산도가 있다보니 와인 자체만 마셔도 밸런스가 괜찮다.
    최소한 다른 디저트 와인에서 느꼈던 기분나쁜 인위적 단맛은 거의 없는 편이다.

    다만 어려운 것은 역시나 디저트와의 조합.
    달콤한 와인과 더 달콤한 디저트를 같이 먹어야 한다는 건 내 안의 조선인 유전자가 아직은 허락치 않는다.
    이 부분은 경험이 해결해줄지도?

    November 25, 2022 - Fully developed, medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant, and focused on its core of dried apricots, marmalade, buttery orange rind spice, and butterscotch. While not deep, the wine remained fresh, vibrant, and aromatic, with a butterscotch and candied orange edge to the finish. Drink from 2022-2032.

    June 18, 2022 - Jeudi soir pour notre souper mensuel au resto AVV
    La Suite de Sherbrooke avec les FOUDUVIN du club de l’Estrie.
    Pour aller avec le trio de crêmes brulées! Robe cuivrée foncée.
    Sur le zeste d'orange et les abricots. Pas très sucré et assez fin.
    A surement déjà mieux paru.
    Bel accord avec le dessert.
