SF | Modest colour then a classic nose of peaches and cream; medium sugar, certainly not cloying, with hints of pineapple and beeswax evidenced, composed and crisp on the finish. A minor key as so often at La Tur Blanche, nut not without merit, as is also often the case.. 90
AJ | Bright, full gold. Discreet, almost shy aromas at this stage: cream and verbena softness. Attractive in a minor-key kind of way. Yet it also lacks a little freshness and such fruit as there is has a tangy, simple quality. Concentrated, to be positive -- but rather cool and acid-lined, almost as acid as it is sweet, and with reserved, ungenerous fruits. A little disappionting for this fine property, but if nature doesn't deliver ...Drink Dates: 2027 - 2032.
