Chateau La Tour Blanche 2007

WEINWISSER: "Intensives Gelb. Pfeffriges Bouquet mit einer klar akzentuierten Botrytisnote, gekochter Apfel, Mandarinenblüten, Mango, Pektin, füllig, fast schon fett in der Nase. Im Gaumen helles Malz, eine batardhafte Fülle, cremig und opulent, extreme Länge."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "Light gold color, but a wine with depth and balance. There is lovely acidity here, a wine that offers fresh fruits, apricot juice and deep layers of botrytis."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Thick, rich, sweet, fat and intense, the wine displays a beautiful, nutty, tropical fruit, pineapple, apricot, vanilla custard and honeyed character. Sweet, juicy and delicious, there is good length found in the finish."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Tasted single blind against its peers. I have always felt that I was mean to the La Tour Blanche when I first tasted it out of barrel, principally because of the excessive level of residual sugar. There is just a touch of reduction on the nose but it opens up nicely. The palate is very classy: a hell of a lot of fruit concentration and layer upon layer of botrytized fruit. It is not exactly subtle and is missing some finesse, whilst the finish is long and persistent, disguising its sucrosity well. Tasted January 2011."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Sweet lemon and apple aromas, with floral honey. Full-bodied and very sweet, with a spicy, almost tangy finish of honey. Rich and layered. Best after 2014."
