As per my previous two notes, this is absolutely gorgeous. It's lost that attractive youthful freshness I noted in 2020, but it's gained in complexity and depth, with strong notes of Seville orange and a wonderful nose. The colour is getting quite dark: you'd easily mistake this for Rieussec both in appearance and on the palate, but I think it's even better than many vintages of Rieussec. No reason to keep this: just enjoy!

Not cloying sweet. Bright, medium weight. Jived perfectly with a coconut cream pie. Did well with brownie a la mode. Also nice by itself. And was a good accompaniment to a goat cheese-pecan-lightly dressed salad first course. Versatile

Crushed flowers and candied pineapple on the nose with subtle citrus peel. Great balance of sugar and acid. Medium finish with more floral and citrus notes. Very nice.

Again in a half-bottle.

Somewhat one-dimensional, superficial sweetness. I wished for a little more acid. OK.
