Very intensely sweet (only the lumpy and not very attractive Tour Blanche has more residual sugar this year), with notes of ripe citrus, a bit unknit for now but the power is there. L&S (Mar 2005)

Coppery gold. Interesting wine already with many layers and real savour. Some botrytis influence apparent. Grown-up stuff with real undertow of savour underneath extremely ripe fruit and the veg note of botrytis. This should make very delicious old bones but you could even enjoy it now. Slightly light finish but it really has punch as well as lots of sweetness. 2007-2022 Rating: 17.5+ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com

Pale yellow. Aromas of mirabelle, licorice, menthol and flowers. Brisk, juicy and penetrating, if a bit youthfully unforthcoming in the middle. Reasonably firm acids give this fresh wine a solid backbone and good finishing grip. Rating: 89 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Jul 2005)
