October 29, 2016 - Delicious and not maderized. Brownish gold, akin to an aged Sauterne. Decanted and drank over 2 hours. Nose of beeswax, honeysuckle, caramelized apples and molten rock. On the palate rich and fat, great acidity and minerality, medium bodied, nice dry finish and no sweetness at all. Excellent.

Unfortunately this is a bad wine and time has taken its toll. The say when they age the become unpredictable, close and open , become special etc etc. To our opinion and experience of trying quite a few of these wines from CdP blanc to Northern Rhone these wines are best tried relatively young and fresh. We have one more bottle of this and we doubt it will be any better. I hope we are proven wrong. 752 people found this helpful Comment -

November 29, 2015 - Best bottle I've had of this wonderful luscious wine. Dark golden yellow, decanted and aerated and drank over an hour. Simply wonderfully balanced, sweet nose of honeycomb, rocks, apricots, marzipan, popcorn whilst buttery and fat on the palate, no sweetness or maderization. Medium to full bodied, nice long velvety finish. Amazing bottle!
