Château Lamothe Sauternes Bordeaux France 2019 (13.5% ABV) — 88
SF | Attractive Welsh gold, a certain luminosity. Nose of coconut, mango, quince and a lanolin; the imprimatur of botrytis finally evidenced...less so , for all that , on the palate, which is pleasant, spicy and structurally contained, the wood maybe shrouding any inclination to demonstration; nougat and almond and a slightly amorphous finish. Almost hollow in places; the palate therefore is significantly less impressive than the nose... 87
AJ | Bright mid-gold. Fresh and attractive; slighlty citrussy; straightforward rather than intricate. Indian balsam and a wilder sweetness of the riverbank. Smooth and soothing on the palate, with some citrus fruits once again.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 89
