Score 92-95/100 · Drink 2000-2018, Pierre Rovani, Oct 1997

Delesvaux's gold/amber colored Coteaux du Layon Grains Nobles reveals peach compote, and orange zest scents as well as an intense, full-bodied, viscous, juicy core of orange marmalade, quince and red berries. This admirably long and complex wine may should be at its best between 2000-2018. Of the three "sugar hunters" I visited, Delesvaux's wines are the most balanced and harmonious so I do not question their ability to withstand extended cellaring as I do with others. Importer: Daniel Johnnes/Jeroboam Wines, New York, NY; tel: (212) 374-9415.
