WINE ENTHUSIAST: "A rich ginger marmalade of a wine, with pear and spice syrup flavors. This is dense and textured, smooth and unctuous, but beautifully lifted by acidity. Impressive and ageworthy."

WEINWISSER: "Sehr helles Gelb. Feines, elegantes Bouquet, gekochte Mirabellen, Williamsbirnen, Pektinnoten. Feiner, eleganter Gaumen, gut stützende Säure, reife Golden Delicious, langes, druckvolles Süssweinfinale."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "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."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "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."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Shows botrytis spice and lemon peel aromas, with apple pie. Not a big, rich wine, but balanced and interesting. Turns intense and powerful on the finish, with excellent density. Best after 2012."
