Andrew Jefford: Pale gold. Fresh, light, and lively on the nose: crisp, fresh aromatic elegance with a little lime and lemon zest. Gentle heather honey behind, and pineapple fragrance, too. Soft, lush, and tangy, with more of that green citrus to provide a fresh, cleansing balance. This is delicious and moreish. Now to 2023. 88
Stephen Brook: There is a filigree charm on the nose, which is a delicate concoction of apple, apricot, and pineapple. It displays freshness rather than power, and the acidity while correct, doesn’t convey a great deal of drive. This is an antidote to those who think of Sauternes as a heavy wine. This is all charm and finesse. Quite long. 91
