  Riper than 2015 but with the same profile, brioche – based, nutty, floral notes, ripe peach and apricot, a bit warmer and steely somehow
  Palate with the same profile, warmer, heavy, lacking some freshness but powerful with textured long finish

  November 12, 2023 - A magnificent Mas de Daumas Gassac vertical from the private cellars of Allard Jakobs (Restaurant Sinck, Amsterdam, NL): Magnum. Lively and fresh for age, built on the structure of the zesty bitters, there is real finesse here.

  August 31, 2023 - A bit tired...
  
  Nose of honey, and oxydation showing, with lots of ripe floral notes, a bit tired again...
  
  palate is round and fat, oily in a way, but lacks acidity and lift... quite dull in the end... Not bad, but very disappointing considering the price point of that wine. more expectations from usually tart and fresh varieties... well

  June 21, 2022 - A bit rustic in the bouquet, but also floral and some white fruit and nutty impressions. On the palate yellow fruits, minerals, some green impressions and ok acidity which lacks a bit in freshness, but possibly the wine was poured a bit too warm.

  November 11, 2020 - Some years since having the Gassac blanc. It used to have a lot of banana ester flavours, but this was more like a chateauneuf in flavour and profile. Rather the better for it, and with the extract and acidity to hold more convincingly than the previous iteration.
