Score 93/100 · Drink 2025-2050, Neal Martin, Apr 2024

The 2015 La Tour Blanche offers yellow raisin, vanilla, quince and apricot aromas on the nose that is quite showy at the moment. The palate is ripe, medium-bodied, smooth, candied and buttery on the entry, with notes of tropical fruit, orange pith and apricot jam. This has lower acidity than recent vintages. It's very pure, with a tang of lemongrass on the finish. One of the better vintages in recent years, this comes recommended.

The 2015 La Tour Blanche has a generous, slightly "fluffy" bouquet that needs to manifest more delineation. Lo and behold that develops with aeration, coalescing nicely with a mineral element that takes time to reveal itself. The palate is very well balanced with a viscous opening, a fine bead of acidity, some reduction toward the finish but it feels long and laden with botrytis. This is a serious Sauternes but it will require considerable bottle age. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

Tasted blind. Icing-sugar nose. Neat and composed with floral notes and nothing exaggerated. Fresh acidity. (JR)

Spicy and sweet and just a little sugary compared to Suduiraut. Shame because earlier vintages have been v impressive. This just seems a bit sugary and simple by comparison. (JR)
