  October 22, 2021 - I believe this was the second year Chateau Louviere used the Stelvin enclosure on their wines and this may have contributed positively to the experience with this bottle, considering it’s age and rather questionable provenance. The wine pours a sort of burnished gold color, slightly hazy. On the nose, the wine is a little funky with peach, orange, tangerine, lemon, yellow flowers, and wet ashy forest floor. On the palate, desiccated stone fruits and citrus fruits with some vanilla and a nutty marzipan-like thing. Medium+ acid, medium alcohol. Finish is medium+ finish, slightly bitter and slightly sherried but overall really quite satisfying and universally enjoyed.

  July 9, 2020 - Full bodied, balancing acidity, lemon and wax, almost complex finish.

  December 31, 2018 - Much more expressive than my last bottle and still evolving nicely over the two days. White fruit, honeycomb, minerals and oak. Awesome match with soft white cheese!

  June 30, 2018 - Smoky and fat, full body, with green Sauvignon Blanc tones. Does not need more age, but this is very vigorous at 14 years of age, no stress to drink now.

  December 30, 2017 - Drank - not tasted - over 2 days. Lighter than expected and rather muted until it reached probably around +13-15C
  Much better day 2 but still a rather simple wine.. might need more time.
