Note di degustazione
Tasted at the Sauternes 2006 ten-year on horizontal in Bordeaux. The 2006 La Tour Blanche has a burly, powerful bouquet, quite complex with dried honey, butterscotch, beeswax and spice. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with vibrant orange zest and mandarin notes. It is endowed with impressive depth and a powerful, botrytis-driven finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is an impressive, delicious Sauternes from La Tour Blanche that should drink well for two or three decades. Tasted April 2016.

Deep copper. Heady with lots of acidity and a sure, nervy edge of botrytis. Just a little mean on the finish if you are looking for explosive sweetness but it's well made and intriguing. Quite high acid. (JR)
Orange tinge. Pretty dramatic and rich and yet excitingly tense too. This wine promises well for the future! (JR)
Big and heavy and all weight though not desperately fine (it plays the weight card). Lots of green notes plus lots of sweetness. Completely embryonic. Impressive weight and length. Chewy finish but well integrated. I actually wanted to swallow this, which can’t be a bad sign. Very clean and vibrant and clean. Long too. (JR)
