Amber in color, drinking quite well. It’s a bit exotic, and alcohol is a little elevated. Bruised yellow apples, orange oil, a touch of oxidative notes, baked hazelnuts and acacia honey. Persistent finish.

pretty much evolved nose of caramel, honey, orange, anise; crazy fresh palate instead, mouthwatering acidity!

Oxidized. When Joly is on, he’s great. But often, he’s off. A well-stored bottle that was way past it’s prime.

Drinking so well right now! Very generous fruit, beeswax and honey aromas. Textured and fresh. Round with elegance. Great wine!

Pure liquid gold. More akin to a top dry sherry than any wine I have ever tasted. On my second day and the flavours just keep multiplying. Incredible stuff! Wish I had more.
