February 16, 2023 - Made by one of the few serious producers from Monbazillac, in an outstanding vintage
Amber/copper hue, nice to look at
Splendid nose of pineapple/apricot/quince jam.
It's more subtle than a Tokay or a Sauternes
On the palate, warmth precedes a long lasting finish of tropical melting pot.
A bottle to be remembered
Can be kept few years more -

June 17, 2022 - Dinner at Noize: I haven’t heard of this producer before but this could compete with the best Sauternes. Deep orange / golden colour, some honey and marmalade similar to a Sauternes. Excellent lingering finish, one of those wines that can live forever.

June 17, 2022 - Dinner with Melvin (Noize): 50cl bottle. Deep orange/copper colour - very attractive to look at. Spicy saffron and orange peel on the nose. Excellent on the palate, with lots of development as well as ample fresh acidity: marmalade, toffee apple, deep and elegant. Had the sense of airiness that I get more often from Tokaji than Sauternes, which was welcome at that stage of the evening.

October 5, 2021 - soirée dégustation Vins compris. Nez très aérien. Pêche jaune, pomme. Très opulent et riche sur notes miellées.

January 9, 2021 - Nez de confiture de pêche, de crème brûlée. La bouche est riche, d’une grande gourmandise, délicieuse, mais sans la finesse et la complexité de la bouteille précédente de cette cuvée. 92 pts
