Other reviews and comments
Plenty of apple, honey and caramel on the nose. Medium-bodied, somewhat sweet, with a fresh acidity and a medium-length finish. Lemony aftertaste. Balanced and easy. Drink now.   89/100
The Wine Spectator
The Rayne-Vigneau is not very expressive on the nose with an odd adhesive note. The palate is very tight at the moment, a little sultry but you can tell there is an immensely complex wine waiting to get out. It strangely reminds me of Climens. I would give this a few more years in bottle. Tasted March 2011.   90/100
Neal Martin's Wine Journal, erobertparker.com
This light medium gold-colored, heavy duty, full-bodied Sauternes is cloyingly sweet as well as monolithic. Hopefully, more complexity and finesse will emerge. Nevertheless, it is big, chewy, and honeyed, but not yet singing. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020.   89/100
