Critics Ratings

‘Golden-colored, with extreme aromas of honey, candied lemons and mandarin oranges. Full-bodied, very sweet and concentrated. It goes on and on. Thick and rich. Loads of spicy, almost hot botrytis character.’ - Wine Spectator, 95/100

‘Rich, broad and very, very full. Relatively low in acidity and faintly raisiny, but no shortage of botrytis. Big build. Very rich and creamy.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (April 2002)
