very flavorful. tons of dried fruit, honey and richness. has legs and lots of body. long lasting but not for the amateur wine drinker. serious stuff here, almost like an ice wine/ dessert wine. 97wines of France 96 WE-"It is not easy to describe one of the majestic wines of France. This 2007 is still a wine in the making. All the elements are there: the intensity of dry fruits, the richness of spice and white fruit jams, opulent and austere at the same time. It is an extraordinary wine, with freshness, sweetness, dryness and acidity all just about perfectly balanced. Give it at least seven years." 96 Points Wine Enthusiast
