Truly superb. Yellow with a gold hue. Intense spice, honey and dried orange peel aromas.Full-bodied, very sweet and very alive. Vibrant Sauternes that goes on and on on the palate. Doesn't get much better than this. Beautiful now,but wait.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2010. 18,750 cases made. James Suckling, Winespectator.com

Tasted blind at Harry Gill’s annual lunch. Yeah...what can I say. Immense nose, heavenly palate, it’s the dogs’ bollocks really. But you know that already. Tasted February 2010. Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com

A stunning wine that should continue to beguile us for decades but that is sufficiently sweet and round that it can already be drunk with great pleasure. Excellent acidity and everything tucked in there for the future. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com
