Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Full and very candied-fruit notes, but with evolved fruit noted on all samples, which were less immediately fresh and seductive for early consumption. We’ll sense the aging possibilities more clearly in a year’s time. | 16.5

Michael Schuster | Orange-hued gold; dense wax-and-botrytis-spice nose; rich, supple, succulent wine, moderately concentrated; intensely sweet, quite luscious, moderately complex, with good, spicy length. Very good, without being special. | 16.5
