Critics Ratings
'Pale gold color. Exotic, superripe aromas of peach, apricot, marmalade, marzipan and honey. Very rich but high-pitched, with intense spiciness and lovely, mouthfilling texture. Strong, clean botrytis tones. Finishes sweet but quite firm, with good acidity and a note of almond extract. A nicely balanced '96.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Jul 1998)
'Quite dark golden colour. Lovely botrytis-rich, treacle nose. Well-integrated oak on the palate. Brown sugar, molasses, honeyed flavour. Good acidity. Will provide sumptuous drinking for 10+ yrs.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 91-93/100 (Jan 2000)
