* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

93-95 Barrel sample. Certainly on the dry side, the wine is very rich, hard edged in its spiciness, with quite a bite of ginger. The acidity, though, is very much in balance, offering a wonderful crispness at the core of all the sweetness.

90-92 Barrel sample. A ripe, creamy wine, which has great poise and freshness. There's just a touch of caramel, but the fruit—sweet apples and crisp pears—is dominant. A pure pleasure to taste.

88-90 Quite a dry style, dominated by acidity and tannins, this wine has crispness as well as richness. It will be rich and dry when mature.

94-96 On the dry side, emphasizing the power of the botrytis, this is a concentrated wine, very rich and dense. For the long-term.

A powerful wine for the vintage, dominated by apples, almonds and dry honey, powered by fresh acidity through the balanced finish. The texture is dense, dryness overlaid with sweet tangerine and orange flavors.

92-94 Barrel sample. Like many of the Sauternes in 2008, this is dominated by huge, concentrated botrytis. The fruits are dried, with orange peel coming through as a final, fresh lift.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Dry botrytis dominates this wine at this stage in its development, a layer of firm concentration on top of the lychee, superripe pear and dried peaches. It is powerful, rich, very dense, needing aging for 10 years or more.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A beautifully ripe wine, layered with the richest fruit, the acidity offering a bright moment within the richness. Botrytis is there, like a hard core for the pillow of ripe apricots, lychees, spice and fine freshness.

91—93 Barrel sample. Excellent spicy wine, lots of sweet fruits, baked apple and caramel. A rich, intense wine, but balanced with a waft of crisp acidity.
