The mix of lemon and grapefruit give freshness on the nose and this citrus character is there at the start of the palate. There is a richer feel towards the mid palate more apricot and peach, the sweetness lending some flesh towards the back. The fresher, lighter fruit mix shows more strongly on the finish, candied lime and lemon peel. Rating: 87-91 Points; Derek Smedley MW
 
Loads of ripe fruit in this one, with pineapple, mango and honey undertones. Full-bodied, thick and layered. Medium sweet. Spicy, fruity aftertaste. Rating: 90 -93 Points; James Suckling
 
This is rather blowsy on the nose and lacks some lift. The palate is better with some attractive minerally fruit, touches of passion fruit and white peach but lacking a little length and vigour. This is a little underwhelming given the quality of other vintages of La Tour Blanche. Perhaps just a little too much residual sugar on the finish?
