  November 30, 2022 - RC's corporate 15th anniversary dinner banquet, Asia Society (Hong Kong): Rich bouquet of honeysuckle, baked green apples and brown toast on the nose. Swirling and sniffing this, I thought for a moment I had poked my nose into a glass of young Sauternes! Fulsome on the palate, with deep and round mineral and floral flavors, this wine is sumptuous without being heavy. Most enjoyable.

  March 12, 2022 - Of 6 opened, 5 were premoxed. Ouch. The sole survivor was arguably too young (or not decanted near long enough) with an assertive grapefruit character.

  March 3, 2022 - Just too evolved and oxidative for my taste. But for the right food pairing it may still work.

  March 3, 2022 - During a Commanderie event. As mentioned in the other tasting note, we have 3 bottles out of a case of 6 that were very oxidative. At least the ones that were ok performed well. A real step up after the rather basic 2012 Clos des Lunes d'Or. Here we had a complex nose of orchard fruit, vanilla, yellow flowers, oak and bakery. Lush but fresh at the same time.
