96-98 Barrel sample. Concentrated and dense, this is a wine that fits well into the power of 2009. There is richness, but as well there is great elegance, a great structure of richness and sweetness, with the final bite of honey.

92-94 Barrel sample. Rich rather than sweet, this is stuffed full of botrytis. The wine is powered through with this dusty texture, rolling richly but catching the dried fruit character.

92—94 Barrel sample. A fat, full wine, this is rich, intense, concentrated. Great layers of botrytis and apricot flavors give it attraction and power.—R.V.
