Apple, chalkiness, honey, citrus, pine-apple. Typical vouvray, but kind of restained, not as intense as in other vintages. Okay structure and density without any particular depth. Medium-plus finish.
Citrus, apple, pine-apple, crushed chalky mineraliy, some garden spices, like dill. Medium body. Very good savour intensity on the attack, good fruit, good density. Steel-hard acidity, medium-plus finish. 89-90
Really deep nose, ripe tropical fruits, wild muggy-vegetal notes, minerals, fine smoky oakiness. Typical, but promises so much intensity and power. Full body. Beatiful depth on the palate, exploding intensity on the attack. Dense structure, fine creaminess, perfect balance, long finish. Great wine, a step above the previous vintages I have tasted. 93-94
Similar as usual. Clean, ripe, typical riesling aromatics. Probably not that intense (but still very impressive) attack as the previous one, but for the second half of the sip it makes a more focussed finish with extreme good length. 93-94
Overripe yellow fruits, honey, sweet spices, quite obvious oak. Full body. Intense savours, creaminess, oak again. Good density, length, has enough acidity to balance the richness and the alcohol. Impressive stuff, but the previous 2 wines shows much more class. (better balance, denser, more focussed structures, more expressiveness without the need of excessive oak)
