  April 17, 2022 - Wow. The fruit is so primary and has melded together so well, orange marmalade, honey, peach & apricot to spare. Did not show much in the way of oxidative traits (nuttiness, etc), this was all about fruit. Lively acidity to carry the flavors and a nose which showed the same traits, an exceptional bottle for the style. Fully mature and likely not improving from here.

  teinte cuivrée, il fait son age; un vin marqué par les amers, forts beaux au demeurant, typé orange amère, orangette, épicé, datte et fruits confits (un poil d'abricot sec aussi). Bouche sans lourdeur, une belle expérience.

It has the perfect amount of sweetness and flavours really build through the palate before the wine finishes off fresh and vibrant.
