What a color. Crisp golden. Bose of very smooth charred butter, orange marmalade, and lime. Palate is a perfect balance of butter, lime, and yellow fruit. Beautiful beautiful wine!!! 94 points.

For a 98, this wine showed well. It showed the vintage’s ripeness but refined. Beautiful nose with honeysuckle, tropical sensation and vanilla oak. Ripe and powerful at its absolute peak.

A private dinner (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Rich but lively colour, correct for age; intense, big and powerful rather than refined, oaky, salted lemon, very good depth, chalky core, large-scaled and structured, lively but with a mature nuttiness, long finish. Impressive performance at 20 years of age.

A delicious bottle of this variable wine ( Stelvins please ! ). Quite golden but in a correct way. The nose is rich with lemon, yellow peach, grapefruit, apricot touches and buttered toast. The palate is mouth filling but with plenty of drive and character. Overall its not elegant but a delicious wine from a difficult year.
