JAMES SUCKLING: "This is vibrant and gorgeous with dried pineapple, honey and cream. Full body, plenty of energetic structure and a long, long finish. Goes on for minutes. Fantastic Aile. Sauvignon blanc with semillon. Structured!"

DECANTER: "Showing quite an evolved colour, 2013 Aile d'Argent has notes of ripe stone fruit on the nose, allied with some waxy, oaky characters and a hint of gun-flint. The Sauvignon component is around 10% Sauvignon Gris, which seems to impart a more exotic note, yet still restrained by concentrated peach/pear fruit flavours and plenty of fresh acidity. Distinctive and worthy of the Mouton name. Harvested 23 to 27 September."

FALSTAFF: "Mittleres Gelbgrün, noch zart trüb. Frische Stachelbeeren, Rosa-Grapefruit-Note, ein Hauch von Steinobst und Mandarinen, mineralischer Touch. Saftige weiße Tropenfrucht, elegant, zart nach Litschi und Mango, finessenreich, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter, mittlere Länge."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This wine shows so much rich fruit. It has a herbal edge, but the yellow and white fruits really define it. Wood-aging has left hints of spice, and the wine also has a tangy, mineral edge. It is ready to drink."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, citrus rind, peach, spice and stone move to a refreshing white Bordeaux wine with fruity sweetness and a finish brimming with grapefruit and candied lemon."

WINE SPECTATOR: " Quite bold, with a singed brioche frame adding some heft to the core of lemon curd, tangerine and lemon chiffon notes. Features a long salted butter finish. An extroverted style, but has enough zip to stay honest."
