November 13, 2023 - This is in a perfect spot right now. Excellent, sweet, candy - but with just enough freshness in place.

October 28, 2023 - Académie des Cinquante 67th Annual Dinner: Rich rôti, firm bitters, rich golden colour, medium sweet, honey and vanilla, salty caramel, concentrated and vibrant but not elegant.

August 28, 2023 - Complex bouquet with apricots, marzipan ad honey. Same on the palate, litchi and some bitterness as well. Fresh acidity and quite elegant style.

August 19, 2023 - From coravin. Cotton candy, flowers on the nose. On the palate, unctuous white fruit, honeysuckle, hints of almond, creme brulee, and enough acidity to smooth out the finish. 91/92
