2003 Château La Tour Blanche Sauternes

Great aged Sauternes consumed 20 years after the vintage. It had been in my cellar the whole time. Rich, caramelly and perfumed. It lacked the slight bitterness that Botrytis sometimes infuses. It was loved by everyone. If it had had a little bit more acidity, it would have scored better, but that is a tough ask of a very hot vintage like 2003.

Perfect fill level in the neck. Perfect label and cork. Awesome nose dominated by iron, blood and pencil lead. In the mouth it was youthful, full bodied and long. A great wine with over 41 years in the cellar. I couldn't have hoped for a better showing.

Another pleasant surprise. Very youthful deep ruby color. Nose was full of red fruits and underbrush. Palate was sensational. Silky, medium bodied with a long finish that lingered. I cannot see what the controversy with 2003 is. This was delicious!
