Tasting: Andréas LARSON, designated the World’s Best Sommelier in 2007, identifies this vintage as a “Top Pick Star”, thus placing it among the greatest sweet wines in the world: “Very rich nose, complex, expressing honey, candied fruits, saffron and apricots, very good density, great extraction and length, succulent with complex roasted notes at the end. Nice and deep golden colour, the nose is very generous with some hints of oak, almond paste, honey and apricots, the palate has an immense sweetness and great concentration, very long finish and good balance already, still it is very young and unreleased, this will need time to come around and gain complexity, excellent material …”
