Note di degustazione
The 2022 La Tour Blanche does not have the delineation of its peers, just a little musty. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, just a touch of burnt honey, but the wood tannins impede a little towards the finish. This is a strange showing given the bottle 12 months ago. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

The 2022 Château La Tour Blanche is juicy and lively, with an exotic nose of honeyed orange, white chocolate, flowers, and hints of mint. It's a rich, unctuous, fleshy, full-bodied Sauternes that brings incredible opulence while staying nicely balanced and relatively light on its feet.
The 2022 La Tour Blanche sprints out of the block with hints of yellow plum, lanolin and stem ginger, though it all feels nicely controlled. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity that cuts through the thickly textured botrytised fruit. Marmalade and orange rind interlace the finish. It's very fine, reassuringly bold and expressive.
Spices, dried lemons, dried pineapple, minerals and touches of white mushrooms and beeswax. Nicely viscous, with a medium to full body and a long, lightly unctuous finish. A saline touch at the end. Drink or hold.
