A version 4 years younger that is pure fruit, delicate as the 2001 but maybe less developed, less complex. Nothing wrong with that, though 😸. Apparently the winemaker, Monsieur Papin, is called "the poet of Chenin Blanc" by the revered Andrew Jefford and if he said so my only aim is to look for more Papins to corroborate through a field research.

Fantastic notes of kerosene and dried apricots and lime rind. An excellent late harvest wine. Naturally sweet. #txakoli #lateharvest #dessertwine #sweetwine — 9 years ago
well balanced light #sweetwine of #sauvignonblanc citrus marmalades, very refreshing! #rueda — 10 years ago
Nice. Very much grape must with alcohol but smooooth and delicious. Be careful or you could polish off the little 50cl bottle in a sitting. #sweetwine #dessertwine #italy — 4 years ago
A mildly amber colour that makes me think of shrivelled grapes covered in mold. Too ethereal (light) to be a sweet wine, therefore I'd have it as an aperitif too. Apricots and honey and orange marmalade and walnuts and marzipan, tangy aftertaste. Not a cultural milestone like a Sauternes or a Tokaji but excellent in its own league. #cheninlikeadiamond #cheninblanc #loire #botrytis #sweetwine #noblerot #anjou #saumur #beaulieu — 8 years ago

Ok. So it’s not #icewine as it is made in Canada or Germany leaving the grapes on the vines into December when they freeze, here they freeze late harvest grapes and achieve a #sweetwine of #riesling i quite enjoy it with pastry desserts #dessertwine — 4 years ago
Orange peel, honey, blossom flowers, delicious, fragrant, out-worldly, moving towards orange confiture, marzipan, apricot and dried prunes. Young palate, fresh and rich, honeyed, long aftertaste. THIS IS NUTS!! GO & GET A BOTTLE NOW!!! #tokaji #aszú #botrytis #hungary #sweetwine #noblerot — 8 years ago
At first I was skeptical about a wine from #jurançon costing so much (independently of who made it) but I really must say that it's spectacular and is a world class dessert/#sweetwine #didierdagueneau — 9 years ago
