94—96 Barrel sample. This is the rich wine of the vintage. With its intensen fruit, piles of spice, but excellent balance, this promises flavors of baked apples and intense dried fruits. The botrytis layer is discreet, a hint rather than overpowering. 1 Note

90—92 Barrel sample. Dry botrytis is the theme here, with richness rather than sweetness. Somewhere under all that dryness is acidity and flavors of sweet pears, but these are a long way off. 1 Note

89—91 Barrel sample. A delicious ripe wine, balanced with some fresh, crisp fruit. There are excellent fruit flavors and some lively acidity. The whole is packaged in a covering of light botrytis. 1 Note

86—88 Barrel sample. Rich, concentrated, but with some sugar water element, this is mitigated by its impressive fresh acidity. 1 Note

86—88 Barrel sample. Light, fresh and crisp, this wine is on the fresher side of the Sauternes flavor scale. It is very poised, elegant, but doesn’t have the power. 1 Note

Round, unctuous and honeyed but with dry botrytis, this is a dessert wine with great freshness. In the mouth, it feels smooth and rich, with supersweet pear jam. The aftertaste loses some of the freshness, but this is an impressive wine. 1 Note

Beautiful aromas of orange zest are followed by gingerbread, caramel and crème brûlée flavors. This is a beautiful, rich, smoothly dense wine with a core of botrytis, spice and vivid fresh citrus acidity. 1 Note
