Drank with family, no formal notes. This is a big version of this wine, very round and opulent with a significant amount of residual sugar. The acid is equally big, though soft-edged. Delicious, though I don't see it aging well beyond the next year or two.

Lemon peel, orange peel, peaches, apricots, some nuttiness, salt and wet stone. Medium + body with bracing acidity. This is a beautiful and elegant wine.

Still too young to reveal much, though I believe it would have shown better with an hour or two of air in decanter. Classic color with typical aromas and flavors, but down a notch from the top-vintage offerings. Still, classic, and very easy drinking. But, most importantly, was excellent with food (Thai appetizers/starters). Nearly medium-bodied, a nice balance on the palate of weightlessness and extract; the acids cup more than cut. Medium finish. Drink or, better, hold another year or two - there's a bit of gas in the tank, so use it to your advantage. Best circa 11C. recommended

Yellow stone fruit on the nose, white pepper, wet stones. On the palate quite accessible, pear fruit, grapefruit, spicy with a slight off dry impression. Very good length and quite impressive in the context of the vintage. 91-92+
