Reviews

Jancis Robinson
A little curranty and even a hint of rot. But there is lots of interest and energy here. And masses of sweetness – well balanced by acidity. Only just becoming ready to drink. Very heady and peachy. (6/2011)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The light-style 1996 possesses a light golden color, moderate sweetness, and a flinty, citrusy, buttery nose with evidence of coconut, pears, oranges, and pineapples. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied and stylish with considerable elegance. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. (4/1999)
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Straw-gold. Peach, pear eau de vie and mint on the cool, slightly high-toned nose. Good tangy flavor intensity, texture and weight. Offers less weight and botrytis character than the '97 but conveys an impression of chewy extract. Finishes spicy and long, with a note of toffee. (7/1999)
