95 points Joel Payne (International Wine Cellar): "[$281/375ml list] Musky aromas of peach, butterscotch and cinnamon rise above the botrytis. Full-bodied caramelized fruits overwhelm the palate, only just balanced by the oyster shell salinity. Succulent sweet flavors pervade the finish. This wine still needs time. (Jan/Feb 2006)"

95 points Wine Spectator: "A silky-smooth dessert white, evoking apricot, honey, lemon and spice aromas and flavors. It's concentrated and lively, with fine intensity on a light-bodied profile. It still needs time to reveal all its charms. Drink now through 2040. 25 cases imported. (4/30/06)"
