SB | The nose is surprisingly tart for a sweet wine, but that gives a welcome and intriguing nuance of quince. The palate is succulence without any trace of blowsiness, and there's an impressive depth of flavor. The flavor profile is complex, with some tropical fruits as well as apricot and quince, and the structure is robust, with an underlying mineral dryness to counter the sweetness. The length is admirable, and the wine, while approachable, is certainly not flagging. 95
AJ | Full, bright gold with buttercup glints. Complex, laden, and full here: powerful, slow-churning, lava-like scents, with a lovely, earthy, deep, truffle-laden richness. Moving and almost disturbing, as all great wines should be. Vanilla, truffle, musk: beat that! I can't wait to dive in. Rich, mouthfilling, intense, and essencey, oozing with truffle oil and kinky nougatine sweetness, yet at the same time split by a lightning bolt of acidity that illuminates in sudden nighttime drama all of the sweet treasures inside. A grand, powerful Jurançon that, despite its age, is only just getting into its stride. Truffle perfumes after you've swallowed (which I couldn't resist doing). Super wine. 95
SR | This 2015 Jurançon opens clear and intense on the elegant and spicy nose. Round, dense, and sweet on the palate, this is a rich and complex, dense and lovely mature Jurançon, with generous fruit and fine bitter notes. 94
