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

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.

A firm amount of acidity beside the sweetness. Long finish. No more notes.

Beautiful bouquet with botrytis. On the palate very concentrated. A lot of sweetness and soft acidity beneath it. Pleasant bitterness in the finish.

Beautiful and complex bouquet with concentrated botrytis, medicine and some clove. Good acidity behind the sweetness.

Beautiful wine. More elegance than concentration, botrytis and clove. I fact a beautiful and seductive wine.

Very elegant bouquet. A lot of very ripe pineapple. Too young. Almost still a bit sparkling.

Very light color. On the palate a lot of sweetness like apricots, pineapple and botrytis. Good acidity beside it. Certainly a beautiful wine.

Opulent botrytis bouquet. On the palate concentrated, almost thick. Good acidity beside the sweetness. Amazing wine.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Not many notes, but this is truly a great wine, good butterscotch, acidity and length. Just great!
