May 10, 2019 - Just Didier Dagueneau! One of the most balanced desert eine of the world!
May 22, 2017 - Enticing and complex aromas on the nose. Apricot, candied orange, flor and something similar to mature champagne. It has a lovely acidic backbone which works in tandem with the sweetness. Perhaps I opened the bottle a bit too early.
March 17, 2017 - Tasted out of 2 different magnums, and with both, we went back and forth about whether the wine was corked or just funky and weird. In the end, I think the answer is the latter. Full yellow. Nutty and musty on the nose, certainly not the exemplar of purity or freshness. Medium weight, good acidity, and citrus-better in the mouth than the aromatics, but then there is something mousy that makes the finish really unpleasant. Who knows what is going on with this wine. All I am sure about is that I really disliked it from both large bottles.
September 18, 2014 - Chicago: wine, food, friends...cigars!; 9/17/2014-9/20/2014 (Blackbird, Les Nomades, Naha, with lunch at Shaw's Crab House): Absolutely the perfect ending to a casual lunch that featured a dual vertical of Pur Sang and Silex. Tropical nose, drenched with honey and baked citrus, but also clean as a whistle on the very fresh, elegantly textured palate. Long, with cascading fruits that fully saturate before being swept away by unseen, plentiful acidity. A genuine treat, this is in a perfect place right now. highly recommended
Served non-blind; Audozed 30 minutes.
January 16, 2014 - Confraria - Espanha (Arturito): Exotic, jelly of tropical fruits, Very long finish. Resinous. Spectacular!!
January 16, 2014 - Confraria Janeiro 2014 (Restaurante Arturito - São Paulo - São Paulo): Young. Elegant. Singular. Tropical fruit and honey aromas dominate. This is an excellent wine
November 6, 2013 - Cata Dagueneau con Luis Gutierrez (Cuenllas - Madrid): Lighter than your usual Juracon but far away from what this wine can offer.
Sweet, long legs.
Shortie on the palate. A mate for foie? You're kidding...
Más ligero que tu Juracon habitual pero lejos de lo que este vino puede ofrecer.
Dulce, largas lágrimas.
Cortita en boca. ¿Un compi para el foie? Estás bromeando...
August 31, 2013 - Pale; sweet & sour (Haribo Tangfastics); no more than medium sweet, glorious piercing acidity, an attractive sour twist; tremendous length, classic nervosity.
May 25, 2013 - Blind tasted Sommelier Michael Scaffidi on this wine in preparation for the Court of Sommeliers.
July 15, 2012 - Unique combination of great acidity combined with sweetness of this style. Floral, peach and honey. Thoroughly enjoyable, but a bit tough to pair with food - not a dessert wine, but definitely not a classic dry wine
