- Yellow gold color with medium forming legs and aromas of pineapple. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of prune and honey with a medium/full body. Oily texture.

Light, bright gold. Lots of clean grapefruit and citrus notes in the nose. Nice citrus flavours with a medium sweet entry and a refreshing finish. Always reliable. Tasty with Eppoisse.

Robe doré, couleur miel. Le nez offre justement miel, ananas et pêche. En bouche, le côté cire d'abeille ouvre la voie au fruité mûr (plus pêche-abricot qu'ananas) bien agréable, quelques notes subtiles d'élevage (bois) pour continuer sur un ensemble pas trop sucré, bien équilibré et assez frais que le vin ne soit pas lourd. Une autre belle expérience avec ce vin.

Viñedo Errazuriz: El viñedo La Escultura en el Valle de Casablanca cuenta con un fresco período de maduración gracias al efecto moderador que genera el Océano Pacífico ubicado a sólo unos pocos kilómetros de distancia. Los suelos del viñedo son de limo arenoso, poco profundos y de bajo vigor. Los suelos y condiciones climáticas de nuestro viñedo son ideales para el cultivo de las cepas Chardonnay y Sauvignon Blanc. Las parras de Sauvignon Blanc son principalmente del clon Davis #2 y fueron plantadas en 1992. Las vides son conducidas con posición vertical de los brotes y el viñedo cuenta con riego por goteo. Comentarios del Enólogo: Nuestro Sauvignon Blanc 2005 despliega un pálido color amarillo, claro indicador del cuidado que se tuvo durante el proceso enológico para proteger al vino de los efectos del oxigeno. El vino tiene una buena intensidad en nariz, con aromas cítricos, notas herbáceas y un dejo a sudor. En el paladar, una excelente acidez natural crea un buen equilibrio, una estructura elegante y un final limpio. Para disfrutar al máximo estos vibrantes caracteres a fruta recomendamos consumir este vino dentro de los próximos dos años.

Mangos for days on the nose with a touch of butter. On the palate, tropical fruit salad is complimented by a heavy texture that is almost buttery smooth. A fair amount of acid comes on the finish to balance the sugar out, but it doesn't quite get there. Very nice.

Light yellow. Lots of very nice bright lemony Sauvignon Blanc fruit. Very fresh. medium sweet with great acid in the finish. Very different then the 97 I had the night before.

Nose of pineapple juice, mangos, pappayas and a touch of maple syrup. On the palate, it's an exotic fruit salad, with a touch of orange on the backend. The acidity is not quite high enough to cut through the suger but it isn't too heavy either. Nice simple drink.

Du beau fruit dominé par la poire et de belles notes pas trop sucrées avec une acidité qui supporte bien le tout. Belle gâterie pour vraiment pas cher...

This late harvest has a pale yellow colour, untous body, and not too sweet. As a matter of fact, its floral style and balance between accidity and sweetness is remarkable. Notes of lime, peches and (as somebody else wrote hear, precisely) "oranges confites" at the nose. At the mouth peaches, tangerine, damascus and pinneapple juice. Very good in ist price range.

On the nose, I find pears, a tad of rosemary (?) which is interesting, dried figs, and a good dose of botrytis (which is normal). On the palate, notes of pears strike first. Then a suitable amount of sugar, not too syrupy. At the end a good amount of acidity and biterness, reminding me of Seville oranges. The finish is relatively short and not as complex as other botrytis wines. Good QPR nonetheless.

dark lemony color with a nose of candied pineapple and dried mango. sweet, lush and tropical, with white peach, dole pineapple juice, melted apricots and honey. the acidity is medium, which largely keeps it in balance, but this sweetness takes the front seat and lingers on the finish. not a bad dessert wine for the price at all.

Clear, lemon mirinque core that leads out to a wide white rim with hints of lime green. The nose is clean and dominated by ripe pineapple, mango and papaya. Loads of tropical fruits in here, canned pear, peach, grapefruit and a bit of green grass. Smells good. The palate is medium sweet with the same above mentioned fruits. Tonnes of canned pear juice flavors and citrus. Moderate (-) acidity, medium + body, medium (-) alcohol. The finnish is average length with peach and pineapple lingering. A bit flabby.... Average quality. This wine was alot lighter in the mouth than the nose suggested. It took me a bit off guard. I'll take the Concha y Toro Late Harvest Sauv. Blanc at the same price point over this one anyday. Drink now - 2009
