    January 31, 2023 - Again in a half-bottle.

    As per my previous two notes, this is absolutely gorgeous. It's lost that attractive youthful freshness I noted in 2020, but it's gained in complexity and depth, with strong notes of Seville orange and a wonderful nose. The colour is getting quite dark: you'd easily mistake this for Rieussec both in appearance and on the palate, but I think it's even better than many vintages of Rieussec. No reason to keep this: just enjoy!

    October 30, 2022 - Somewhat one-dimensional, superficial sweetness. I wished for a little more acid. OK.

    October 26, 2022 - Not cloying sweet. Bright, medium weight. Jived perfectly with a coconut cream pie. Did well with brownie a la mode. Also nice by itself. And was a good accompaniment to a goat cheese-pecan-lightly dressed salad first course. Versatile

    August 19, 2022 - Crushed flowers and candied pineapple on the nose with subtle citrus peel. Great balance of sugar and acid. Medium finish with more floral and citrus notes. Very nice.
