BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Full gold. This wine has a nose of modest classicism: rich and balanced, with some true botrytis character. On the palate, it is lush, full, dense, balanced, modestly rich and gratifying, with plenty of pineapple, banana, and lanolin. True Sauternes in a difficult vintage. 2018–23. 88

Michael Schuster: Classic honey-and-wax nose; very sweet, quite rich, a clear complexity, long across the palate, and with nice aromatic persistence, too. Succulent, pleasing, good. 90
