Sauternes (1st Growth)
The Chateau La Tour Blanche has a complex bouquet with scents of grapefruit, honey, apricot and white flowers. The palate is very well-balanced, with a great sense of tension and poise, and notes of citrus lemon, lime, dried honey and a touch of marmalade that lead to a tightly wound, focused, almost Germanic finish. This is intriguing Sauternes that should repay considerable cellaring. NEAL MARTIN
The continuation of the recent trend to less sweet wines (this is 130g/l residual) and to the consequently finer less robust style of La Tour Blanche accentuates in this ’10 the extremely fresh, ebulliently menthol style of this estate’s fruit. This is straight-up freshness and mintiness, with a pleasingly soft untannic persistent finish that will keep all this currently rather obvious fruit well wrapped in for many years to come. BILL BLATCH
Bags of acidity balancing the very high sugar content, impressive, and as always an intriguing touch of Muscadelle-like floweriness which is the signature of the growth. Marvellous finesse. Drink 2020-2050. DECANTER
PLEASE NOTE THIS WINE IS OFFERED EN PRIMEUR AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE FINAL (NOW) PRICE LESS 20% WITH THE BALANCE DUE WHEN THE WINE ARRIVES IN 2013.
