April 26, 2015 - I wanted to love this wine and ended up enjoying it without being blown away. Lots of botryitis fruit and freshness, but I still wanted something to give it a lift. However, lots still to come from this wine, so give it a chance to blossom in bottle before you try again.

July 15, 2014 - Il faut longuement l'aérer pour que se montre l'acidité qui soutient et le rend persistant, et même vivifiant. Excellent alors. Robe d'or légèrement ambrée, magnifique. Pamplemousse, marmelade d'orange, miel, coco, pâte de fruits, profondeur, longueur, présence, grande pureté et vibration étonnante, un peu de gras, impressionnant, quoi qu'un peu moins bien sûr que le jeune et merveilleux 2005. Ce cru a sa particularité bien à lui, inimitable et difficile à définir, et par ce point il est tout de même comparable à l'incroyable 2005... Un délice qui se bonifiera encore pendant de longues années...

January 5, 2013 - Excellent Dessert wine, really anjoyed it. It is a great wine with well balanced tannins for the age; not too sweat, not too heavy.
vanilla flowers, sugared violets in a buttered bed covered with a watery silk vanilla layed peach. Try it! -

January 29, 2012 - At its peak now to my mind. And will probably stay there for a while, but difficult to see how it can get even better than it now is. A lovely fresh mix of fruit and acidity with a hint of botrytis (I think!) at the end to give added complexity. This is a crowd-pleaser and truly delicious.

December 22, 2011 - Honeyed gold, loads of dried orange peel, candied walnut, cigar box and ash. A wee bit cloying but decent acidity, the crowd liked it.
