Hard to separate the wine with the history, but it really was stunning. Carmelites Apple, honey, brioche, Tatin, gold. Elegant and balanced.

Lovely complexity. Floral, ripe pineapple and melon, quince, honey and a hint of hazelnut. Fresh acid keeps the sweetness in check. Really quite a joy to drink. Great value too

Fully mature. Amber colour. Honey, caramel, apricotjam and Apple pie. Pinches of orange zest and almondpaste. First impression is very sweet and intense, but it finishes fairly fresh, elegant and well balanced.
Very good.

Honey dominates, complimenting crisp fruit notes. Wasn't quite sure what to expect given the age but, apparently, 20 yr is still quite young for this wine. Delicious nonetheless.

3rd bottle of this I've opened in 6 months. Amazed a white from 30 years ago is still charming.
