This varies considerably from vintage-to-vintage. The last one we tried (2014) was a nothing-burger, but the 2016 is one of the very best in recent memory. Lots of vanilla and citrus on the nose. Full-bodied and rich in texture, offering a plump mouthful of ripe apple and citrus fruit with a moderate acidity. Shows fine depth and focus. There's just enough balance here to not be flabby. Finishes with surprising length and lingering notes of vanilla and buttered toast. Complex, satisfying and hard to beat in terms of QPR - especially if you like this style. 50+5+12+15+7=89

Very good: ripe pear in a buttery, oaky but not heavy style. A steal at this price.

Bcp de bois, beurré. Attaque assez souple mais une amertume déplaisante en finale. Très moyen....

Tart, Golden delicious apples, a bit heavy on the oak IMO, the finish is a bit metallic. Drinkable but just OK. Meh
