"A brilliant combination of power and finesse characterizes this light green/gold-colored Barsac. It possesses moderate sweetness, terrific aromatics, and a full-bodied, rich, beautifully delineated, ethereal palate revealing delicacy as well as acidity. Although young, it is already strutting its stuff. Consume it over the next 15-25 years." 93 Points - Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s, The Wine Advocate, Issue 153 (June 2004)
"Lots of lemon and maple syrup on the nose, with dried apricots. Full-bodied, with a very sweet and rich palate of candied lemon and orange rinds and a long finish. Not quite as exciting as from barrel, but clearly outstanding. Best after 2009." 93 Points - Wine Spectator Weekly, 6/17/04 |
