Second bottle of this went about the same as my other bottle of this from March of 2023. Amazing how well these age for one of Champalou’s entry level bottles!

So beautiful. At 18 years this is so silky and plush. There is still a touch of sweetness but the residual sugar and acidity have totally melded in a beautiful way that is so refreshing. Took a bit to open up on the nose but this is loaded with peaches and pears, a number of mineral notes, tones of white flowers like honeysuckle and acacia, and vanilla. Excited to see where my remaining bottle is at in another few years.

Finally got to this last bottle with Thai appetizers pre book club. Very gold and sweet, but reasonably well balanced and paired nicely with the food...very tasty
