Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2010-2030, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2011

A little curranty and even a hint of rot. But there is lots of interest and energy here. And masses of sweetness – well balanced by acidity. Only just becoming ready to drink. Very heady and peachy. (JR)

Score 89/100 · Drink 2015, Robert Parker, Apr 1999

1996: The light-style 1996 possesses a light golden color, moderate sweetness, and a flinty, citrusy, buttery nose with evidence of coconut, pears, oranges, and pineapples. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied and stylish with considerable elegance. Anticipated maturity: now-2015.
