Stephen Brook | This is lush and pineappley on the nose, which is exuberant and exotic. Silky and threaded by fine acidity, this is elegant and persistent, with a sherbetty tang on the finish. There’s not much depth here, but on its own terms it’s pretty, well made, and well balanced. | 87
Andrew Jefford | Full gold. Sweet, warm and unctuous: a generously constituted second wine, with ample lanolin and botrytis intricacies. Delicious, sumptuous, and moreish on the palate, with almost juicy honeyed butterscotch sweetness and soft, moist apricot acidity. Perfumed, too; outstanding Sauternes second wine. 2018–25. | 89
