A bit phenolic on the front but nicely honeyed and raisin-y. Not a whole lot of botrytis character. The cork in this bottle was pretty fragile, which may have had something to do with it.

fill low neck, cork smelt of vinegar; nose apple & vinegar; full-bodied with adequate balance of acid and sugar, hint of botrytis; long uninteresting finish - scored this a 78 but will call it a flawed bottle

Pleasant, gently sweet, oranges, but lacks the botrytis and zing of the 97. Better than expected.
