  December 24, 2021 - Superbe couleur vieil or. Nez bien présent, fruits tropicaux, pêche, poire. Ample en bouche, intense et long, bien qu’avec une légère note oxydative (le bouchon avait très légèrement coulé). Très bon, sans être un grand Sauternes. À boire sans plus attendre

  May 1, 2008 - Tasted at Ma Cuisine, Beaune, France. 9 of us shared a bottle out of curiosity. 85 euro. We didn't have high expectations given the vintage and the age, but we were a little surprised. Bottle and cork were in pretty good shape. The wine still had a little life. Light citrus, not overly sweet and a little acid so a decent balance. Almost refreshing after a great dinner. But nothing deep going on.

  February 25, 2007 - Slightly raised cork. This wine was surprisingly better than expected. Complex botrytized nose of apricots, pineapple, leather. Viscous mouth of similar, with creme brulee. Comes up somewhat short in the finish, in a refreshing way. Not sweet but with a viscous mouthfeel. A very nice wine.
