  From 35,7cl, good cork stained grey half way back. Dark mahogony colour, like a Sauternes three times its age, or an old sweet sherry. Pungent scent of carpet glue gradually yields to maple syrup, butterscotch etc after about 1 hour; thick-textured syrupy entry, immensely sweet and concentrated; vivid acid emerges alongside a blossoming of fresh apricot and other, candied fruit on the creamy mid-palate and persists for the thrilling minute-long finish. A great sweet wine, only 7,5% alc (it feels more like 14% due to the superb balance). A little goes a long way. This bottle was in fine shape and would have held for at least a further decade. 92-93+P
  Update 11.03.2020: Better on second day.

  Wow is this rich and intense- sweet honeysuckle, butterscotch, maple syrup, hazelnut and pears on the nose. Incredibly thick on the attack- almost like syrup, with beautiful honey sweetness, but then finishes with wonderful lightness and acidity - a roller coaster of a dessert wine!

  Medium gold color. Aromas of butterscotch, quince, bosc pears and acacia honey. Ripe, thick, sweet tongue-coating fruit in the mouth with great depth and huge length. Just enough acidity to make this a truly outstanding dessert wine. Delicious with Paula's mango, blueberry and pineapple fruit salad. Still very fresh and young.
