  Couleur presque brune, un nez incroyable, du fruit confit, une texture sirupeuse un peu, il y a encore de l’acidité pour aider à balancer un peu cette richesse extravagante, la longueur est interminable. Belle expérience d’en boire un verre ou deux. 93-94
  
  Almost brown in colour, the nose is amazingly complex, the texture is almost like syrup, there is still some acidity to balance that richness that is almost too much, and the sugar is wow, but it is still delicious and the length never stops, great experience to drink this wine that was made in only 4 vintages.

  Don't listen to Seth, it's better than 98 points. ;-). Criticizing this wine is like criticizing Hedy Lamarr as not being the perfect woman because a perfect woman would have sold her spread-spectrum invention to the navy after she invented it. An insane color of dark tea, as if ten tea bags had been left to soak overnight. A glycerin feel of motor oil is only enhanced by the dark colors. The expected apricot gives way to underlying notes of orange and persimmon with a brûlée finish. The nose reeks of denseness but the palate is surprisingly fresh given what you are drinking. One feels your body chemistry being altered by the immense levels of sugar and acid in every sip. This wine could outlive everyone reading this post. I won't touch another bottle for 15 years.

  Dark brown-orange. Beautiful nose of apricots, molasses, some citrus peel and tropicals, tea, mandarins-marmalade. This reminds me of the great MC HGS wines. Parallel evolution. Wow. Amazing on the palate. Super sweet with amazing persimmon, rich and lively, tangerine and figs. Great acid on the finish. Sweet. Brown spices and molasses. Just great. Nose - 6/6, Palate - 5.5-6/6, Finish - 5.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 2/2 = 19-19.5/20.

  Very tertiary, full of resiny apricot, golden raisin, peach, and caramel. I like mature Vouvray and this is terrific - but it lacks some of the freshness to really propel it to the level of top Vouvrays.
