Score 93/100 · Drink 2018-2028, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, May 2018

The 1998 la Tour Blanche is medium gold in color with quite an earthy, savory nose giving up perfumed notions of orange blossoms and honeysuckle over preserved apricots, apple pie and allspice hints. It's wonderfully elegant, sophisticated and beautifully balanced in the mouth, with oodles of layers and epic length.

Medium yellow. Tangy aromas of orange peel, exotic fruits and spicy, vanillin oak; strong suggestions of noble rot. Highly concentrated though not yet especially unctuous, thanks to unusually vibrant acidity for this wine. Very sweet but not at all sugary. Botrytis notes of citrus skin and honey. Finishes long and subtle.
