Critic tasting note: (1999 vintage) “Medium greenish-yellow, very fine, well persistent mousse. Enticing apricot and orange zest notes, fine biscuity touch, a hint of blossom honey, mineral nuances. Full-bodied, finely expressive, delicate notes of dried pears, refined acidity, delicate interplay of tropical fruit and fine nutty hints, lingers for a long time. Great balance, further potential for ageing.” – 94/100, Falstaff
