Score 98/100 · Drink 2007-2050, Robert Parker, Apr 2000

This limited production cuvee (produced only in the greatest vintages) is spectacular. The 1997 (100% Semillon) contains 20% residual sugar, and a well-hidden 14.5% alcohol. The wine is mammoth in the mouth, with layers of unctuously-textured, honeyed tropical fruits, beautifully integrated toasty new oak, plenty of botrytis, and considerable sweetness. It is a triumph in wine making, and will undoubtedly last 50-100 years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2050+. Readers should note that this offering is only available in one-bottle wood cases! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2050+. (No tasting note was provided in Issue 128. We have instead included the text of the tasting note from Issue 122)
