Producer's Notes

A medium gold color with coppery glints, the wine's nose opens onto a multitude of aromatic notes, very ripe exotic fruits (such as mango), beeswax and small, dried fruits, with lots of elegance. On the palate, the wine is supple and sweet, revealing a clean and pointed botrytisation, mingling the sweetness of small candied fruits with the fresh minerality of the terroir. The gustatory expression rapidly evolves onto aromatic characters of candied apricot, slightly caramelized notes and well-integrated spices into a few notes of honey lingering for a pleasant length. This vintage is balanced with a wide range of aromatic nuances.

Vinous: 91 Points

Healthy pale color. Ethereal, highly complex nose combines floral and herbal scents with notes of pineapple, marzipan, mint and spicy oak. Moderately viscous, sweet and shapely; concentrated and fresh. Like the '97, this is silky and suave. The very long, ripe finish hints at honey and caramel.
