  Found another bottle - my first in ten years. I’m afraid it has lost some of its magic. Deep gold with a nice nose of Riesling grape and red apple. The palate is smooth with limited sweetness. Viscous. It’s delicious for sure but is kind of flat - lacks complexity and interest. I enjoyed this a lot more at age 10. (90)

  Capsule had slight leak but cork in good condition. Golden amber color, floral nose with pineapple and honey that transmits to palate, lovely mouth feel and long, smooth finish. Lovely on a hot summer night with mixed apps and for desert, pound cake with fresh montmarency cherry sauce and vanilla ice cream.

  Still very nice with complexity but I felt it may be on its way down as the sweetness takes over the acidity.

  Belle acidité et équilibre, c’est très bon, mais on sent moins d’éclat que la bouteille prise en 2020. Celle-ci est au début de la pente descendante. Drink up! 90-91 pts

  Lovely amber colour. A tad flabby at first, but it tightened up somewhat and that allowed me to concentrate more on the complexity - pineapple, lime, marmalade, white pepper, damp earth, Golden Delicious apple, the odd hint of kerosene. Would ideally be a little tauter (and possibly better a year or two ago), but really tasty.
