Tasting note: Incredibly hard and closed for many years, before it opened up a classically walnut-scented depth at the age of fourteen. The flavor is still restrained, dry, and full of malic acid. The mineral-rich aftertaste is textbook stuff. (95pts. Richard Juhlin)
Tasted: Jan. 2007
Score: 95
Drink: N/A
Tasting note: Crisp, fresh, young and alive with pretty toasty, yeasty aromas, delicate lemon, pear and vanilla notes that are still tightly wound, finishing clean and dry. Impressive for its vitality; can stand further cellaring. (93pts. Wine Spectator)
Tasted: Dec. 31, 1989
