La Tour Blanche Half 2009 presents a rich amber hue, typical of botrytised wines. On the nose, it exhibits notes of honey, apricot, and a hint of toasted oak, complemented by underlying floral elements. The palate is luscious and full-bodied, showcasing flavors of ripe peach, candied citrus, and subtle spices, with a balanced acidity that provides a refreshing counterpoint to the sweetness.
This Sauternes is produced from grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), primarily Semillon, enhancing its complexity. Aged in oak barrels, it develops a unique character over time, making it a classic representation of the appellation. The wine tends to evolve beautifully, allowing for various drinking windows, and pairs well with rich cheeses and desserts.

Tang and interest on the nose. Big, weighty. But with good acidity and definition and it`s awfully difficult to spit! Long and rich, a bit hot on the end? Still a bit chewy. (JR)
