Dark orange-gold. Old and lacking freshness. Oxidised with notes of some other possible spoilage. (JR)

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2007
(bottled three weeks prior to my visit) Aromas of vanilla, hay, honey and flowers. Plump and silky; conveys less thrust today than the Desiree but there's sound ripe acidity here. Ultimately less open than the Desiree, and stonier and more powerful on the back half. In a more minerally style.

Firm and round though again quite introvert on the nose. Extremely clean, crisp and crystal clear – mountain stream-like in fact. Some richness underlies it all and there was still notable astringency on the finish. Wait. (JR)
