Tasting note: Full yellow-gold. Expressive aromas of pineapple, coconut, sweet vanillin oak and spices. Then wonderfully thick, fat and sweet, with the exotic coconut character carrying through in the mouth. Finishes saline and powerful, with palate-staining flavors of pineapple, coconut and spicy oak. Conveys a strong impression of solidity. (93pts. Stephen Tanzer)

Tasting note: Shows enticing aromas of toffee, cream, dried apricot and caramel. Full-bodied, very sweet and thick, with honey and caramel flavors. Long and rich, oozing with sweet, ripe fruit, this is like liquid candy. (96pts. JS, Wine Spectator)

Drink: After 2016
Tasting note: Fruity, pure, fresh, lively nose. In the mouth, it has a particular mellowness which is proof of a great terroir. It melts on the palate with unceasing softness, complex, balanced by a spicy aroma and a touch of wood which is more present than in other crus of the same age. (91pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)
