The 1988 reveals layer upon layer of honeyed pineapple-and orange-scented and -flavored fruit, vibrant acidity, high levels of botrytis, and a fabulously long, yet well-focused finish. It is a great wine. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Straw colored, with fresh pineapple, orange, citrus zest, floral and spice notes with honey and nuts. The wine is pure silk and pleasure. Medium bodied, with a freshness and vivacity that refreshes along with the perfect amount of sweet, honeyed fruit, this is drinking perfectly today.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider, tasted 5/12
Extremely rich – like the thickest of cream – but with crystalline structure and acidity still in evidence too. Very deep-flavoured. I may be underrating its likely longevity.-Jancis Robinson
