Bottle, fill and cork excellent. Still very young. A beautiful and vital wine. It was excellent with mousaka, (despite the culinary mismatch), but really needs a pork roast or chacroute. Could keep this for decades.

Bordeaux September 2023 Well ... . Had this before, so I hope for more, it's been perfect stored but only came out ok - the nose upon opening was glorious, and it' keep being the most positive - it' most have hid it's ageing point, it slowly fall together and was boring at the end, it had no personality left and had some honey flavours, if serve blind (and not thinking of the nose) it was more northern Rhône which I do not give for a sh.. about . . this is sadly overpriced, and germany has so much more to offer - wondering if this vineyard had it's peak in the 70' - 80' and early 90's .. . Drink !! (90 is for the nose - 88 for it's drinking quality)

Bottle bought on release and stored in cellar - well past it’s prime with muted nose and a bitter finish - not particularly enjoyable if I’m being honest
A White Wine Dinner in Celebration of Crab (San Francisco): Medium yellow. Younger, lighter, much more lemony and mineral than the Frédéric Emile. Finer and more elegant. Although angular at its core, it avoids hard edges. Outstanding and looking more and more like a classic Clos Ste. Hune over time.

A private dinner (Restaurant d'Oude Schuur, Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium): Tasted blind. Very evolved, candied fruit, soft and gentle, tired bitters, orange, certainly not unpleasant but objectively past best. Not rated.
