Merchant Reviews
Sauternes, Bordeaux, France-"Big, rich and juicy. Voluptuous. Aromas of caramel, apples and light tropical fruit. Full-bodied, round and very sweet with loads of ripe fruit and a long butterscotch and piecrust aftertaste. Viscous texture. Hard not to drink now. Wonderful sticky." Wine Spectator

Expert Reviews
Medium yellow-gold. Reticent but pure aromas of fruit salad, spices and vanilla, lifted by floral and mineral nuances. Wonderfully honeyed, fat fruit flavors are complemented by cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. The sexy oak treatment gives lift to the wine. A bit youthfully aggressive but very long on the back end, showing vanillin oak and a bit of warmth. But this one offers superb potential.
 Sweet and lovely botrytis.

Nuts, apricot, spice, peach, and buckwheat honey.
Good acid and botrytis.
Very balanced and almost alive with its aggressiveness.
Complex and very good.
Should only get better with age.
Not quite ready yet, but still wonderful

Honeyed, spicy, a bit medicinal at the finish. Aroma of fresh elderflowers. Maybe in a another year, this will be superb. Right now just simply wonderful.
