Lovely apricot finish, and still so young and vibrant! So delicate for a Moelleux. (Did my iPhone seriously just auto-complete "Moelleux"?)

Honey, grapefruit and pear. Sweet but not cloyingly. A hint of saffron on the finish. A lovely end to a lovely night.

Still drinking the 89 while storing at temps rainging from 50 to 90 degrees F for the last 22 years. 2 bottles left. Not one bottle in all thes years was less than perfect. I would rate it as a 98.5, but, i am no expert. I have had great assulase, tokaji aszu and chateau d'Yquem but, for the price i paid (20$/bottle), it far exceeds the others. It is now a medium amber color complex fruity tones great finish. I feel sad when the last drop leaves my teast buds. I also have a few of the 90's to us as a comparison. They are a distant second.

Phenomenal Vouvray...despite the unexpected mid acidity, this wine performed impeccably with yellow apple, apricot, and other signs of slow oxidation.
