April 13, 2019 - Sweet, very low acidity. Need a sourish dessert. Apricot pie for example.

February 3, 2018 - Very sweet, low acidity, relatively pale. I combined it with an apricot pie, which brought some good acidity. Maybe this is the ideal combination.

August 18, 2017 - Tend to agree with Pavel review. Overly sweet, smell leaning towards semillon, low acidity, short. Could be good with a sourish apple or pear tarte tatin. Will it develop tertiary aromas in a few years? Is there hope? We will see. Had it from a half bottle, with nothing, just as a dessert on its own.

March 6, 2015 - 2012 UGC; 3/5/2015-3/6/2015 (Singapore): Even though this was served just as cool as the Clos Haut Peyraguey I found this overly sweet, and beyond the sweetness could not find much complexity or interest here
