"Lots of botrytis spice and clove honey, with hints of dried lemon. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with honey and cooked apple flavors. Spicy and long, with just a hint of vanilla. Very pretty and balanced. Best after 2013." 93 points - Wine Spectator, March 31, 2008
"Medium yellow. Captivating, floral nose of fresh apricot, peach and lime, complemented by sexy oak notes of spice and coconut. Highly concentrated, fresh and sweet; silky and sappy more than really thick, but this boasts glorious high-pitched fruit. Wonderfully concentrated, nicely balanced Barsac with a vibrant, palate-staining finish. This chateau has been on a roll in recent vintages." 91-93 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Dec 07 |
