‘The heat of the year was challenging for Sauternes, bringing about a harvest that came in almost one continuous pass, from September 14 to 25, one of the quickest on record, and ensuring a silky, creamy texture. Grilled toffee notes, with bitter mandarin peel, cinammon, gingerbread, baked apples and orange cake. A tawny, walnut colour that it is slightly deeper than the its surrounding vintages, suggesting it it is ageing a little faster, but the cloves and white pepper spice add a mouthwatering signoff. One third new oak. 2022-2034’ – Jane Anson, janeanson.com, 93/100
