SB | The nose is quite exotic, with hints of tropical fruit, such as pineapple, as well as stone fruits. Very sweet and succulent, this is saved from being cloying by its underlying acidity, which gives persistence and precision. There is no rawness here and it's already approachable but should age well. Dramatic and long. 94
AJ | Mid- to deep gold. Sweet and attractive, with drier as well as more crystalized elements to the aroma: lots of dried, crystalized apple slices (though not the tarte tatin of some of the other wines); fresh acacia honey; broom flowers and almond blossom. Gracious and beguiling aromas. Dense, full, concentrated, and exciting. As always with the best Jurançons, you look at the acidity first, to see what kind of detonating power it has, and how much sugar action it will send raining down in its wake after the detonation has happened. And there is plenty here: honey, malt, mushroom, herbs, dried flowers. An exciting wine, with plenty of aromatic force secreted away in its pores. 93
SR | Intense in its golden-yellow color, this 2018 Jurançon displays a clear bouquet, with white nougat, white chocolate, apricot, and ripe-fruit aromas on the nose, but is very elegant, refined, and rich on the palate, leading to a clear, sweet, but also savory and saline finish. 93
