Excellent tropical fruit (primarily pineapples) intermixed with scents of lanolin are attractive in this medium to full-bodied, fresh, concentrated wine. Good underlying acidity nicely buttresses the wine's weighty feel in the mouth. An excellent lower level Sauternes, it should drink well during its first two decades of life. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020. Apr 2000, www.robertparker.com
