La Tour Blanche 2003 is a Sauternes that reveals layers of complexity without overt exuberance. The nose displays notes of ripe apricot, honey and a hint of waxiness, with subtler nuances of citrus peel emerging as it opens. The palate presents a smooth entry, featuring flavours of orange marmalade and subtle spice, although it lacks a pronounced acidity to elevate the overall structure. The finish is persistent, showcasing a linear quality.

Vinous
Enticing bright yellow-gold color. Subdued but very pure aromas of orange peel, apricot, honey and spices. Supersweet, fat and spicy; wonderfully round, chewy and unctuous. As thick and '03-like as this is, it remains fresh and lively. Not the last word in complexity but this fine-grained wine is delicious already, and finishes with superb, palate-staining persistence.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2006
