Drank alongside the 86. Both were very true to their vintage. A bit more honey, pineapple, and tropical notes to this wine. Some actually preferred this over the 86 but for me this was #4/5 tonight.

This started off as being "heavy & clumsy", but with more time & air in the glass, it literally transformed and morphed... Nose grew better & better with more flowers & honey. Palate was intense and staining. Remarkable!

Tour de force wine with loads of botrytis on the nose. On both the nose and palate, the wine's age shows perhaps more than desired (mature plus), but this nonetheless a huge treat.
