Youthful gold. Smells more savoury than sweet! Seems much more than one year older than the 1997. Lots of acidity on palate with greenness. Lively, wild and long. Very exciting! Sauvage. (JR)

Aromas of honeysuckle, lime, peach and white plum. Moderately thick and sweet, but juicy and fresh, with enticing floral, peachy flavor. But I don't get the texture or complexity of noble rot. Attractive but rather one-dimensional today; perhaps time in bottle will bring greater nuance.
