1948 La Tour Blanche

Deep amber in hue, the bouquet of the 1948 La Tour Blanche does not explode from the glass, rather, it gradually unfolds with scents of marmalade, quince and fig, hints of mandarin and adhesive. Fine delineation. The palate is fresh with exquisite poise. Plenty of marmalade notes emerge once again, while noticeable acidity lends this Sauternes tension. The 1948 does not possess a sustained finish, so it scarpers out of the exit door a little hastily. Nevertheless, this Sauternes continues to give pleasure.
