"As on other occasions, a tremendous wine, with great aromatic precision and depth that other chteaux do not exhibit. Tropical, spice and lactic aromas are definitely there, but the botrytis is more pronounced, and there is a deep note of caramel that rounds out the impression and echoes on the finish."
