Michel Bettane: Slightly reductive on the nose; some Sauvignon fruit, which is very pleasant and gives nice complexity; not too syrupy; intelligent Sauternes for middle-term consumption 16
Thierry Desseauve: Tasty and balanced, elegant definition, long volume, persistent 16
Michael Schuster: Mid-gold; a nice “waxy” Semillon nose; very nicely balanced, fresh, elegant, lighter-style Sauternes; a fresh defining acidity to the sweetness, and moderate richness of texture; length and class here, without being grand. Most attractive already—an assured future. Now–2020+ and likely to be excellent value 15 +
