BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Wonderful noble rot here, with notes of apricot jam; rich, but the texture and finish are a bit heavy right now. 17.5

Michael Schuster: Ripe fruit and minerality; concentrated, vigorous wine, intensely sweet, impressive on the attack, falls away a little on the back palate and the finish; classy, but just a bit uneven in performance; good light length, but not the persistence of aromatic volume and vigor that is there up front. 17
