The bouquet is a bit locked. On the palate a lot of sweetness and botrytis. The acidity hardly shows. There is some oak and overall a lot of refinement. 90+
The bouquet is still locked. On the palate pineapple and botrytis. Good balance between acidity and sweetness. At this moment the most complex and complete wine of 1996, 1998 and 1999.
Noticeable is the dark color at this youthful age. On the palate fresh acidity beside the sweetness. Impressions of clove and ginger. Beautiful and complex wine.
Enormously concentrated. Beautiful balance between acidity, sweetness and bitterness. Apricots, pineapple and botrytis. Enormous length. A very impressive and youthful wine.
Ripe pineapple and apricots, beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness and also some nuts. Don’t wait too long. The wine will change but not improve imho. No score for tonight.
Almost the last wine of the great tasting and socializing too much, so not many notes. Anyway in this stage it is an amazing and full bodied wine with a lot of elegance, good sweetness and pleasant acidity. Great length.

Dark yellow. Refined bouquet, pineapple and apricots. Same on the palate. Spreads through the whole mouth. The acidity is a bit up front.

Not many notes, but when tasted this it was on the same level as Rieussec 2001. Complexity and an enormous length.

Quite mature, intense sweetness and also a lot of acidity. Still a beautiful wine, but probably wise not to wait much longer.
