    September 23, 2023 - Just good. I'm missing a Whoa!! factor on this 9 year old wine. It is missing crispiness and freshness. Disappointed, although it drinks well. Was expecting much more.

    January 28, 2023 - Nez : d’intensité aromatique normale (-), qui ne se livre pas énormément en l’état, sur du variétal type groseille à maquereau, du citron vert, du buis qui fait fortement penser à du sauvignon blanc, avec du coing bien mûr en background mais qui reste discret en intensité.

    Bouche : l’entrée en bouche est bien plus aromatique qu’au nez, sur du coing.
    De corps assez ample, le milieu de bouche se révèle frais et élégant ; le jus délivrant une certaine douceur sur des fruits jaunes de type mirabelle, une touche exotique, entremêlés à des épices et de légers amers.
    Tout au long de cette bouche, on a affaire à une trame tranchante sous-jacente qui allonge une finale rafraichissante, pure, et élégante, de longueur assez bonne (+) sur le citron, de doux amers et quelques fruits jaunes puis qui se prolonge sur des fruits à chair blanche (poire), et une touche florale de type camomille.

    Intensité aromatique : 8/10
    Complexité aromatique : 6,5/10
    Précision aromatique : 7,5/10

    Note : 16,5/20 i.e. 92/100

    April 22, 2020 - Much more interesting (and fresh) than my first bottle. Loaded with tropical fruit and spice, with terrific crisp body and energy. Should hold for 5+ years.
