August 26, 2023 - Even more fresh than the bottle of nine years ago, go figure. Great color, fill, and brightness. Typical aromas and flavors, and to be sure, this particular bottle was in a great place. Not too sweet, but confident, fresh, and with a gentle, pleasing and well-balanced length. What really helped it to shine was the pairing: cherry bavarois, ganache, bleu merengue. Remaining bottles should be so lucky to be in such fine shape. 12,5% abv. Drink or hold. recommended

February 26, 2022 - Still kicking! Nice bottle to go with light desserts, loads of dried apricot and honey. Seems in a good spot now, sugar starting to subside.

October 30, 2015 - Very nice, medium plus body. Medium caramel colored at this stage but holding its flavor profile quite well. Drank one several years ago before the darker coloration and I think it is better now. Flavors are more subtle or mature, with some caramel notes, a touch of acidity still remaining in the background and finishes with a lingering but mild petrol note. My wife likes it very much as did friends. Can't drink too much in one sitting but a good finishing aperitif. 90+

October 25, 2014 - Seems to be at or slightly past peak, with a dark straw toward golden color. Aromas of roasted nuts, dried apricots, honey and river rocks. Medium-bodied, with average finish and complexity. Went really (really) well with some homemade cookies from a local bakery; stronger cheeses would overpower this, so stick with cookies, tarts and/or berries. Drink now. 12,5% abv.
