  Lost Friday afternoon gathering – Chave, Krug, Churchill, Trimbach, Mugnier and etc. (Black Salt, Washington DC): Expressive nose displaying incredibly concentrated yellow fruit, apricot, apricot preserve, peach cobbler, butter scotch and honey. Exceptional concentration, concentrated slightly dry yellow fruit, 10W-40 yet fluid, lacking acidity and mineral, and a long opulent yellow fruit driven finish. Very modern concentrated style that reminds me SQN stickies.

  A lazy Sunday lunch - Bordeaux blind, Raveneau, PYCM, Yquem, Dom Rose and etc. (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): Very new world nose displaying concentrated yellow fruit, apricot preserves, mango, dry mango, honey, butterscotch and tea. Exceptional concentration, packed ripe slightly dry yellow fruit, unctuous yet fluid, lacking acidity and mineral and a long concentrated sweet yellow fruit driven finish. It is in your face kinda dessert wine. It reminds me SQN dessert wines a bit but less acidity.

  Dinner at Lazy Bear (Lazy Bear, SF): Wish I remembered what I liked so much about this wine! I think it had some nuttiness? It was the end of a long meal filled with delicious pairings!

  Couleur tirant sur l'orange foncé, qui pourrait faire craindre à un vin oxydé. J'ai toutefois remarqué que les liquoreux du sud-ouest prennent de telles nuances plus vite que les sauternes. Celui-ci est composé de 50% de muscadelle, 45% de sémillon et 5% de sauvignon.
  
  Magnifique nez d’orange et de pain d’épices, complexe et enivrant. La bouche, onctueuse et riche, offre une finesse en finale d'un contraste saisissant. Ayant toujours eu une dent sucrée, ce vin incarne à mon goût une sortes d’idéal du vin liquoreux, par son alliage de gourmandise et de finesse. C’est concentré, mais sans lourdeur et sa longueur aromatique est phénoménale! Grand vin. 95 pts

  Extremely intense fruit and sweetness, but monolithic and lacking acidity, and with a bit of soapiness on the nose, its shock and awe presentation is somewhat impressive at first but quickly grows tiring.
