  Wow! Tasting this again, I love it every bit as much as I did on 1/20/23--see that note for all the details!

  My palate has certainly shifted quite a bit over the last half-decade or so (and Covid-19 probably played a part of that). This is definitely a sweet, intense, and unctuous wine, and while there are some interesting dried fruit nuances here, this is pretty in-your-face kind of stuff. I would like a smidgen more acidity, but truth be told, despite the sweetness this doesn't really get cloying. That said, this is still very, very sweet, and a little does go a long way.

  Wow. Immediately after opening, a blast of smoke, followed fairly quickly by baked pears, caramelized brown sugar, cloves, mace and other spices, prunes, a whisper of lemon, and a touch of bitterness that balances the extreme sweetness. Fabulous intensity, and an amazingly long and powerful aftertaste, with dried apricots near the end. After a few minutes, a hint of camphor briefly emerges and then quickly vanishes. This is already medium brown, so I'm not sure how much longer it will last--but it's certainly good for another four years or so, and probably much longer. [Tasted over the course of an hour from the Jancis Robinson glass.] (After 24 hours, and then 48 hours (!), stoppered and kept cool but not otherwise preserved, this wine continued to be beautiful, with no significant change from the day before.)

  Very interesting wine. Out of 375. Deep golden, borderline orange color. 4% abv. Very syrupy but had a crazy wide array of flavors on the nose and palate. Objectively it should probably have a higher score but just not my style.

  Robe tuilé d'intensité profonde
  
  Le nez est concentré et principalement sur l'abricot avec en arrière plan du miel, caramel, orange, vanille.
  
  Je n'ai par contre jamais rencontré une bouche avec une telle concentration et matière. On aurait dit du sirop d'abricot dans sa forme la plus pure. Il y a évidemment un acidité incroyable, mais la densité est telle que celle-ci passe en arrière plan et c'est le sucre qui domine finalement (cela pourrait paraître comme un petit peu déséquilibrer pour certain). La longueur est incroyable, après 1 minutes cela restait en bouche...
  
  Un vin qui ne titrait qu'à 4% d'alcool qui a encore plusieurs décennies devant lui. Il était finalement encore bien trop jeune à ce stade.
  Mais c'était un grand moment pour terminer un repas de fête en famille.
