Tasting notes
Water white. Obviously concentrated although not especially aromatic. Atypical because it has much less acidity than usual. Quite rich on the nose with some tropical fruit character. Some passion fruit, some sucrose character. Still a little hard on the finish. (JR)

Very ripe peach, pear, quince and melon aromas and flavors, laced with lime peel. Unusually soft and broad in the mouth for this address and for its genre, yet there is a convincing purity of fruit, refinement and delicacy in the mouth, and a positively effusive finish. Muller explains that this is representative of several bottlings that will have different A. P. numbers. 1 star.
Very pale, very 'cool' nose. Clean, crystal clear with a lovely, pure, gentle texture. Very suave. Not especially sweet. (JR)
