A tight wine, its sweet fruit rolling around between the texture of pear skins. There is freshness here, the acidity and the dry botrytis taking away from any huge sweetness.

91-93 Rich more than dry, the palate a very spicy character, the texture full, unctuous, but more than just sweet.

89—91 Barrel sample. Layers of richness here, underpinned by fresh acidity. The dense botrytis is very dominant, leaving the green pear and peach flavors as second rans.

Lean, with acidity but not high richness, this is a light, simple wine, the fruit flavors edging towards sweet apples.

91-93 Barrel sample. Strong botrytis, very rich, totally honeyed. This is a powerful wine, very straight in its style, packed with the sweetest apricot jam.

90-92 Barrel sample. A well-balanced, concentrated wine, full of botrytis flavors: richness, poised honey and lemon. This is going to be an impressive wine for a second growth—in about 10 years—but already shows signs of greatness.

87-89 Barrel sample. Firm, ripe, densely structured, giving what is almost a meal in itself. The texture is dry, also rich, powerful.

This is certainly a rich wine, the yellow peach flavors ripe and concentrated. But there is also a hard core where the botrytis dominates and makes for a tight character. It is missing charm.
