Score 87/100 · Drink 2014, Robert Parker, Apr 1999

This wine reveals a honeyed melon and pineapple-scented nose, medium body, and fine purity and ripeness. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. This wine is an uninspiring, mainstream, blatantly commercial example of Sauternes.

Pale gold color. Exotic, superripe aromas of peach, apricot, marmalade, marzipan and honey. Very rich but high-pitched, with intense spiciness and lovely, mouthfilling texture. Strong, clean botrytis tones. Finishes sweet but quite firm, with good acidity and a note of almond extract. A nicely balanced '96.
