Wine Spectator
Not flamboyant, but concentrated and focused, its butterscotch, vanilla and apricot flavors unfolding bit by bit until they coat the palate. The bright acidity lends support and keeps it all together. Endless finish. Best from 2004 through 2015. 130 cases made.
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Reviewer, Pierre Rovani - Butterscotch, cream, and peaches are found in the nose of the syrupy 2000 #7 Chardonnay Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague (7.5% alcohol, 295.9 grams residual sugar/liter, and 6.5 grams/liter total acidity). This creamy textured wine’s mouth-feel is as soft as a goose down pillow. Its thick, full-bodied character has flavors reminiscent of butterscotch squares whipped into condensed milk. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
