Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | A deeper yellow than others, this shows a touch of wood with superb overripe fruit and the effects of noble rot. A hint of volatile acidity could be linked to barrel aging. Great length. | 17

Michael Schuster | Orange-gold; coconut oak-tinged, citrus-zest nose; fresh, moderately concentrated Guiraud; very sweet, quite rich and luscious, but lacking the concentration, vigor, and drive of the best of this vintage, and with good, light length. | 16.5
