Tired, past its peak, but still very complex and with an acceptable amount of acidity
I drank it over two days and I had aspected it to get oxidised at day 2 when it was a more enjoyable sip than the day before

Super elegant
Lots of flesh, evolution, complexity
From ripe apricot to ginger, cardamom, aniseed, tea leaves, lemongrass, cumin, various herbs and more
Very charming and reassuring sip
I love this old whites that are whispering not screaming at you
I'd say at peak though

After the Les Chaignots 1999 i might start to realize that with Dominique Laurent the wine making could be a little to intrusive, but altogether this wine is very good, perhaps even a few more nuances and more complexity too, but maybe a little less body
Quite long again

Still great,
Grilled pineapple, pear, candied ginger, nutmeg
Little coriander, sesame oil, biscuity
Super mineral and fresh too
Long flavor and fairly long life

Not yet at peak
A little less fleshy than ILR reserve
Still a wonderful example of the potential of this typology of wine
Long life ahead

Completely different scenario from Prager
Still on the freshness
Youngish, long, marvelous, but we are still wondering in how long we'll find this wine at peak
A real treat
