Mid gold. Very old on the nose. A bit cooked and baked and lacks freshness. (JR)

Enticing, expressive aromas of exotic fruits, apricot, honey and marzipan. Racy and sharply defined, thanks to brisk acidity for the year. Not unctuous but intensely flavored: quintessential Barsac. Really lovely, subtle fruit. Finishes very long and juicy.
