Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 93/100
Tasted blind at the 10-Year On Tasting in Sauternes. The 2005 Chteau La Tour Blanche has a complex nose with lemon sherbet, orange sorbet, honey and jasmine all soaring from the glass without a care in the world. The palate is medium-bodied with refined tannin, very focused and poised with an elegant, suave finish that has just the right amount of edginess. There is a Barsac-like personality to this La Tour Blanche with a hint of barley sugar on the aftertaste. Overall, this is an impressive Sauternes.Neil Martin - 29/06/2015
