    March 17, 2023 - Bought a couple of bottles 15 years ago and this the first I’ve tried. Very interesting. Wonderful burnt gold colour, reflected in the smell of sweet apricot. Already then a sense of the weight and length of the taste. Very clean rich dark apricot and honey. Not much acidic cut through but very very long, and somehow the purity of the fruit hit keeps it all together. Excellent

    March 6, 2022 - Mature... seemed to lack a little of the Botrytis components to be more complexe but has nice acid backbone.

    July 9, 2021 - 3 bottles purchased on release together; two of them light gold; this bottle notably deeper old/burnished gold.

    Color/App: full/deep burnished gold; good viscosity, though not at the level of a Rieussec or Suduiraut. Curious nose: almond, vanilla, apricot, decisive and unpleasant note of burnt sugar/oxidation. Palate is distinctly better than the nose, though that is probably just due to the sugar . . . . Sweet and confected, showing again some almond kernel, apricot, peach and finishing with a slight bitterness. There's not a lot of acid here and comes off as pretty cloying as well as affected to my mind. I have to believe this bottle is off its game, even in this (not my favourite) vintage. Not rating this; I'll wait to open one of the other bottles.

    Nice with coconut-creme brulee, mango and mint.

    September 21, 2019 - In a good place right now. No longer just sweet but notes of dried persimmon and developing a nice complexity.
