about this wine:
"...intense and complex bouquet, with peach, apricot, mango candied white fruit, honey, vanilla, elderflower, and sugar candy and lily of the valley aromas. Full on the palate. Fat, fleshy, fresh citrus fruit alongside apricot and roast aromas. Beautifully pure with lots of substance, a precise attack, very slender characterised by the Sauvignon..."

Medium color. Cassis and a high-toned note of varnish on the nose. Sweet, layered and deep, but rather unforthcoming today, due in part to fresh acidity. Finishes slightly fiery. This still needs several years of bottle aging. 88(+?) points

This full-bodied Sauternes stretches the limits of botrytis. Offers loads of beeswax, almost moldy aromas, yet it is fresh and zingy with plenty of honey, spice, toast and lemon flavors. Try in 1998.
