 Tasted by Jason Wu on 7/25/2023 & rated 93 points: Another cool classic vintage. Lighter in style vs 2012 and 2022. Grapefruit, orange, honey, not overly intense, great balanced by the high acidity that penetrates on the palate, fresh and succulent. (279 views)
 Tasted by Tartiflette on 6/16/2014: I shall refrain from rating this bottle, because it is my own fault it was saved too long. Not really bad, just way too sweet and no acid left to balance it. (3088 views)
 Tasted by cartime on 7/22/2010 & rated 90 points: Very floral, with mandarin and passion fruit. Sweet, balanced with nice acidity. Medium-length finish. Great with panna cotta and strawberries. (5389 views)
 Tasted by knlowery on 6/18/2010 & rated 90 points: Beautiful nose of fresh roses. gentle bubbles solid flavors on the palette (5523 views)
 Tasted by kahuna75 on 6/17/2010 & rated 89 points: What is not to love about this wine- 6% alcohol - drink it by the bottle - no glass- wonderful sweet fruit pear/peach on the nose carries through with a touch of apple thrown in then the kicker this bad boy actually haves some acidity- getting ready to stand over the grill grab a bottle and start drinking- this would be perfect for some real funky cheeses especially some ripe blue veined - for after dinner it is great- I would buy this again(and have) this wine is about having a good time so lighten up Francis and have a bottle or 2! Better yet give it to the ladies and soon you will look better to them. (5724 views)
 Tasted by Zuperdaave on 5/14/2010 & rated 90 points: Delicious - frothy "head"; creamy texture. Best dessert wine around. (5986 views)
