This wine reveals the viscosity of a rich Sauternes, although it is completely dry. This full-bodied, heavyweight, massively endowed monument to the Marsanne grape must be tasted to be believed. It is so thick and juicy that some tasters may be shocked by its intensity to the point of wondering what exactly is in the glass. Wines like this are rare, but I have no doubt that this wine will last and evolve for 30 + years. A classic! Anticipated maturity: 1998-2025. Last tasted 6/96.
