International Wine Cellar Author: Stephen Tanzer Issue: Issue 79

Deep, oaky aromas of honey, coconut, vanilla and creme brulee Sweet and plump in the mouth; the flavors of coconut and tropical fruit are initially dominated by spicy oak notes. Finishes with slight heat (the alcohol is a relatively high 14.7%) but also excellent persistence of flavor. This showed more development of flavor as it opened in the glass.

Bordeaux Book(1998) Author: Robert Parker Issue: B1

The 1988 remains a very backward wine. Full-bodied and powerful, extremely rich and dense, it may be the least evolved 1988. The nose offers enticing coconut, orange, vanilla, and honeyed scents. The flavors are highly extracted. The wine's acidity and youthfulness suggest this wine needs another 5-10 years of cellaring. It should keep for 30 years. Last tasted 11/94

Wine Spectator Author: James Laube

Splendid, elegant, intensely spicy botrytis fruit character, rich and fat, kept in balance by an undertow of lemon-laced acidity. 6,000 cases made.

Only Y'Quem produces a comparable sauterne. Melon and citrus nose, caramel, grapefruit, and honey notes. Long persistent finish with a slightly bitter butterscotch climax.
