Tropical and rich with very good concentration, but much more advanced than I'd prefer, or vs the previous bottle from the same case last year. Not particularly enjoyable when popped-and-poured, then in exactly the same place two hours later.

Drinking with Dressner (Act II) (Le Caveau, Chamblee, GA): Terrific aged white Burgundy hazelnut, rich, layered, at peak but with no danger of decline, it is ridiculously good right now and puts most white Burgs from more prestigious appellations to shame. A little RS pops its head out with air as it just gets better

Rich yellow. Impressive nose of spices and honey. Intense flavors of honey and quince, with slight sweetness. Thick feel and long finish. Still quite lively. Should last 5+ more years.

I always enjoy this wine. It provides so much pleasure from its ripe fruit and traces of sweetness but without any cloying buttery oak character. It shows so much apple and pear flavors, with a nice minerality on the finish. This wine still seems so young and lively, with many years of life ahead of it. 90 points.

Comes across as very ripe on the nose. Ripe fruit on palate also clearly has a touch of residual sugar that is noticeable but not dominating, somewhat like you'd expect with a Kabinett level German Riesling. Flavors of good stone fruit, good spice in middle and end, also nicely balanced by acidity.

Much like another bottle from a few months ago, very advanced when popped-and-poured. Odd...these were still so enjoyable last year.

Baked apple with sweet spice. Rich and demi-sec, but with so much concentration that it worked perfectly with rich seafood. No hurry to drink this up.

Drinking great. Mineral-driven, fresh, clean and a hint of french oak. Light, lingering finish of all that is good. Really enjoyable.

Less honeyed than it has been in the past, but it retains impressive complexity. Very well received.

Rich goldn color with clear green notes. Lovely rich yellow fruit. Rich thick sweetish tight yellow fruit with good minerality. 2/06
