91-93 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2007
($60) Pale yellow-gold. Exotic aromas of mirabelle, cured meat, honey and cinnamon. Superconcentrated, succulent and lush, with just enough acidity to prevent this extremely sweet, heavily botrytized wine from cloying. Combines suggestions of fruit essences with honey and spices. Wonderfully chewy, tangy wine, showing its botrytis character more clearly than its variety. This is from old vines high on the hillside, where the soil is richest in limestone, notes Burn, who told me this has VA of 1.07 and a pH of 3.95, along with 107 grams per liter of residual sugar. This fruit was harvested on November 11!
