    93-95. Barrel sample. Very rich in botrytis, this is a dense, opulent wine that's charged and hugely ripe. The acidity is there in the background.

    91-93 Attractive, fresh wine, with a delicious delicacy as well as the perfumed acidity. There is a tasty pear juice and spice combination to finish.

    94-96 Barrel sample. An immense wine, but one that is keeping all its elements in balance. Big, rich and ripe, apricots, peach juice and dry honeyed botrytis, along with a good element of freshness.

    92—94 Barrel sample. There is big, and serious botrytis here. With its powerful structure, its dry botrytis, here's a wine that will certainly need aging. Very powerful, intense.
