  July 24, 2020 - Too much sweetness at this point

  September 4, 2016 - Souper d'anniversaire du Petit Prince (Au palais du Prince Winston et de sa majesté Justine Première.): Un vin très riche et voluptueux, avec des arômes rappelant plusieurs desserts aux pommes. C'est très gourmand, d'une grande profondeur, mais c'est encore tout d'un bloc et trop jeune. Un immense potentiel, assurément, mais trop riche à ce stade, il a besoin de digérer son sucre pour exprimer toute la finesse et la complexité qu'il développera sans doute. Une future grande vedette, mais difficile d'y mettre une note ce soir là.

  December 27, 2015 - Followed over 4 days, this can go for years and years. The most pure expression of fresh orchard fruit, honey and perfectly balanced acidity. Finish got longer each day. Spectacular! 9%

  October 8, 2014 - Moderate gold colour. Very intense nose combining everything you could imagine from a dessert wine -- botrytis spice, honey, stone fruit, earl grey tea, smoked hazelnuts -- in a dazzling kaleidoscopic display. Then, it all gets compressed into a concentrated laser beam which is aimed directly at your palate. This is so intense it hurts to drink it. Incredibly primary, with a mix of citrus and stone fruit, and maybe some passion fruit thrown in for good measure. There's a very seductive savory component to this wine. Despite its 230 g/L of sugar, the tooth decay you're going to get is going to come from the intense acidity, which in fact, somehow manages to overpower the sweetness. But for some reason, there is absolutely nothing over the top with this wine. Give this a hundred years. Oh, to find a bottle of the 1947...

  December 21, 2013 - 2011 is only the third vintage in its history for which the domaine has bottled a Goutte d'Or, and I tasted it from the same bottle as Depuis63 the following evening. I don't really have the vocabulary to describe this wine except to say that it was exceptional in every respect. Incredibly sweet and equally textured and nuanced. Provided your bottle is well-stored, this wine will certainly outlast you, regardless of how old you are now. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
