  Superbly concentrated wine, deliciously fruity and elegant with supreme balance. Intense fruit flavours, reminiscent of thick cut marmalade, complex, rich with tremendous length.
Press Comments:
"If you want to blow out on just one sweet bottle this summer, this should be it. 2002 has been one of the best sauternes vintages in the Noughties, and this blend of 90 per cent sémillon to 10 per cent sauvignon delivers elegant, lively, luscious, yet intense, waxy, apricot, pineapple and peach fruit." Jane MacQuitty, The Times 10 June 2006  Style: Sweet but fresh
