Tasting notes
Fresh nose which is both a little bit grassy and lightly tropical, ripe lemon. The palate is very nicely balanced with sweetness in complete harmony along side the acidity giving a long clean finish. There is also complexity of flavour with notes of tropical fruits (watermelon) and something else more complex, difficult to put my finger on...

Bags of acidity balancing the very high sugar content, impressive, and as always an intriguing touch of Muscadelle-like floweriness which is the signature of the growth. Marvellous finesse. Drink 2020-2050. (19 points) Michel Bettane, decanter.com
Gorgeous apricot, ginger, green fig and honey flavors show lots of density, with a sweet, rich finish. A big one in the making. —J.M. James Molesworth, winespectator.com
Green and coconut on the nose. Streaky green and massively sweet with the pear juice quality of botrytis. Dense and rich. A bit jagged. Very, very young. RS 130 g/l, TA 3.9 g/l. 13.8% Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com
