March 16, 2023 - Light engine oil in colour. No problem though. Wonderful nose, honeysuckle, cloves and much more. Very complex flavours, apricot, raisins marinated in liqueurs, quince, marmalade, on and on. Very sweet, luscious and slightly oily texture. Very long. Magnificent wine.

July 25, 2020 - The nose was lovely. Dried apricot, peach, honey, hazelnuts, just a joy to smell. The palate was tasty but lacked acidity to support the sweetness, which made it hard to drink more than a few sips as it saturates your palate. Lovely stuff but wish it had just a bit more zip to it.

April 10, 2020 - What a beautiful wine. Quince, peaches, mirabels, dried apricot, extremely intense aromatically but light as a feather, gracious, balanced.
What a wine! I‘m stunned! -

June 13, 2018 - Drank with MCS after a long restaurant shift.
Pours a medium Amber. Lusciously sweet with notes of apricots, honeysuckle, orange blossom, orange marmalade. Noble rot for sure here. Medium + acidity plays well with the sugar. Over 30 second long finish. Perfection.2 people found this helpful Comment
