August 5, 2020 - Après une bouteille pataude et décevante en 2016, celle-ci est brillante.
Une superbe matière accompagnée d'une grande vivacité, c'était excellent. -

May 20, 2019 - Young yet profound. Salted caramel, honeycomb, citrus peel, brown butter, vibrant acidity. Far from peak.

June 21, 2017 - Barleyed sugar is a great descriptor for this wine (I saw it from previous note). Drank on the heels of a Rasteau and that was a bit light on it's feet whereas this was a bit heavier, almost a touch grainy. I felt like I could taste the chestnut casks though and it reminded me very much of standing in an old cellar in a Nonna's basement where she made her equivalent of this wine. Very of the place. Fun.

May 11, 2016 - Really dense nose, packed with orange peel and honey. Rich and powerful with a slight viscosity, it’s ripe and concentrated with honeyed fruits, barley sugar and sweet creamy vanilla. Good acidity keeps everything in check. Great stuff.

December 27, 2015 - Superb, sweet but balanced with dry acidity, hint of oxidisation, candied peel. Very concentrated but never cloying.
