Chateau De La Roulerie, Coteaux du Layon

I wondered if this wine was getting long in the tooth, but I don't think that is a problem. It is evolving nicely, still very sweet but not at all cloying: lovely golden colour, medium-full bodied, honey, tropical fruits and a long finish are my hazy recollections from last night. Certainly very ready now but doesn't seem to be in any immediate danger of decline. Good QPR (A-).

12.0% - Clean, med+ gold, straw / clean, med+ intensity - honey, marmelade, ginger / sweet, med acidity, med+ body, med length, straightforward and pleasant.

This light, sweet wine, had a golden colour and a slight gaseous nose that reminded me of some of the old german rieslings I've tried in the past. Honey, light floral tones and fresh I thoroughly enjoyed this wine almost all to myself over two days ( which is unusual for me) Paired well with a prawn dinner but also enjoyed after as a treat.

Light but quite bold gold colour with decent brightness. Relatively restrained on the nose, with an amalgam of peach, grass, honey & apricot, but all VERY delicate and low-toned - with perhaps a hint of mustiness (but not I'm sure corked). On the palate there's more richness than impied on the nose, but the honeyed sweetness is kept nicely in check and indeed the wine finishes almost dry. For me this adds interest and in an odd way, complexity as …

Half bottle. Simple sweet wine, nutmeg and camphor, lacks fruit, structure, precision and interest. A little bitter and disjointed. Not good.

didn't realize it was a sweet type of wine, very nice
