Crazy nose. Hints of dried apricots. Yellow flowers. Rich. Deep.

Palate is stunning. Elegantly rich. Dried apricots. Mineral. Saturating. Salty a bit. Silky. Hints of honey. Some glycerol.

Long finish.

Really a unique wine. Almost hints of very good sherry notes but in a good way.

This is a wine you want a case of in the cellar.

Wow. Nose is like sticking your schnozz in a bee hive. Honeyed floral.

Palate is Super honeyed. Rich. A hint of sherry so drink now if you have it.

Nose so good you wish your lungs had an exit so you could inhale nonstop.

Palate. Dense. Almost sticky. Unctuous. Great fruit. Sweet fruit. Almost tropical. Honey. Clings to the palate. Very well made.

At 3 hours almost like this sherry like butteriness. Not oxidized but the controlled richness. Becoming godlike epic level insane.

Nose is nutty

So if you like the salonnish style of champagne this stuff is the bees knees. Nose is just pure decadent richness. Some good sherry notes. Palate is just rich as hell. Juicy at the same time. Wow. A knockout. When you swallow it it's one of those wines that you just say "holy crap that is good and just utterly delicious." One of the best wines I've had in the past 12 months. A crazy value at this price. Bought from Fass selections. — 9 years ago

What a crazy awesome bottle of wine. Amber in Color.

Nose is copper and yeast. Hint of confectionary sugar. A whole bunch of something I can’t identify.

Palate is controlled richness. Some orange peel. Maybe some sherry. Pomelo rind. Juicy.

One of the most unique sparklers I’ve ever had. This is a graduate level course.

An interesting wine. Very rich. But not in a stupid way. Nose has some lovely iodine. Palate has that lovely intense richness but also some acid and mineral in the background. Finish is nice and stings a bit from the acid mineral combo. Maybe some sherry-like notes. This has the delicious factor so I’d drink it on a regular basis (if I had the luxury of doing that) but it’s also just off the median point enough to make it a change of pace wine. Bought from Fass Selections. ... yummy nut paste on the finish. — 8 years ago

Had it on 8/7/16 at Studio @ The Montage with the Provost's celebrating Jake's bday. It was BYOB. Had kept bottle home for years based on Sherry Lehman reco only to end up staying at Franc Mayne during recent trip to Saint-Emilion. Old juice, just as Tere loves them. — 10 years ago

Nose is psychotic. This controlled richness. Almost round in a perfect sphere way. Almost a hint of sherry without the oxidative notes. Hard to describe. It’s own category.

Nose is more l33t after 45 minutes. You get this high end burgundy complexity compete / complex / craziness.

Palate is elegantly delicious. Nice minerality. Juicy. Delicious. Elegant.

More meursaulty than the 18 which was better / more interesting. Still quite amazing.

As this opens it gets more “high class”. Decant for 30 and drink over 30.

Long finish.

Part of the light port selections we had while on Iberian peninsula. Clean and refreshing and we actually preferred these ports v any sherry we tasted. Light sugar taste but refined. Needs to be served cold and the dessert needs to be light. — 9 years ago
