Tasting notes

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2007 17.5

Very dark with a hint of copper. Very big - lots of weight. Quite different from the rest - a risky note of sweet floral herbiness, something you find in Italian sweet things (candied peel?). Dry finish. Clearly pretty ambitious. Solid and creamy - pretty impressive though it needs lots of time. Very different from the other Sauternes in the UGC tasting.

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, June 2009 91

Full orange-gold. Complex, subtle nose offers orange peel and toffee, plus a sexy whiff of toasted almond. Dense and moderately viscous but with good energy and a high-pitched orange flavor dominating the middle palate. Not hugely sweet or fleshy but seemed to grow more viscous and honeyed on the back half. Finishes clean, firm and long, with a saline complexity. Good clean botrytis character here.
