89—91 Barrel sample. Very rich fruit, very ripe, sweet wine tempered with botrytis dryness. Great full flavors of candied fruits and quince. 1 Note

90-92 Barrel sample. A rich, toffee aroma introduces a wine which is definitely sweet, with caramel and baked apple flavors. It is ripe, freshened by acidity, but generally richly sweet. 1 Note

87-89 Quite soft, unfocussed, but also quite full-bodied, this seems to have strayed from the hot 2003. Good botrytis shows through. 1 Note

An almost medicinal, tart wine that certainly has the dry texture of botrytis, but then shows more in the way of a herbal character. 1 Note

89-91 Barrel sample. Attractive lemon marmalade aromas already make this wine appealing. The palate, too, shows charm and elegance, with just a touch of new wood complexity. A complete wine, which seems to be coming together already. 1 Note

On the heavy side, this is clumsy and awkward—the botrytis doesn’t seem to have melded with the fruit. 1 Note

90-92 Barrel sample. Complex wine, its botrytis character very dominant, heady, so concentrated it is almost dry. This is dense, very rich in character. 1 Note

89-91 Richly liquorous wine, beautifully concentrated, with acidity balancing with the rich, honeyed fruit. Showing its attractive side already. 1 Note

Powerful nose with a complex mix of aromas that range from pine pitch, sweet spice and pineapple to vanilla and licorice; sweet and intense in the mouth; powerful flavors of raisins; great acidity, sweet licorice, lemons; touch of bitter lemons at the end, but a sumptuous wine, and filled with subtle nuances of flavor.

Deep color, tawny edging toward brown, wonderful nose of orange peel, caramel, pine needles and pine tar, spices, sweet aromas, quite aromatic and effusive; sweet fruit in the front of the mouth with a mix of roasted oranges and apricots, lots of sugar in the body of the wine but also a big dose of acidity that adds a surprising amount of freshness to this grand old dame; nice sweet and clean finish with touches of sugared lemon and caramel, great at any age.
