WS 94

Decanter, December 2010

A light gold colour, possibly paler than you might expect from such a ripe vintage (it's renown for the near-perfect condition of all three grapes varieties, the highest potential average alcohol levels - 11.1 degrees - since 1962, and a good balancing acidity of 8g/l). In the mouth, there's richness, with ripe quince-like fruit, some toasty notes, a savoury, yeasty mid-palate, and an exotic ginger spice element. As you'd expect, the bottle was the considerably more developed of the three formats. (Disgorged Oct 2008. Pinot Noir 56% Chardonnay 33% Pinot Meunier 11%. Dosage 4g/l)

Wine Spectator, October 2012

Rich flavors and aromas of bread pudding and molasses mix with hints of baked peach, biscuit, ground ginger, fleur de sel and candied orange zest. Elegant, this shows lovely balance, a subtle bead and a delicate yet persistent freshness. Disgorged October 2008. Drink now through 2020.-A.N.
