La Tour Blanche 2020 (375ML)

95-97 WA / 93-95 VM / 93-94 JS / 92–94 WE

Pale gold in color, the 2020 la Tour Blanche opens with nutty notions of praline and toasted almonds, giving way to a core of peach cobbler, pineapple tart and baked apples, plus spicy wafts of candied ginger and nutmeg. The palate is incredibly concentrated and hedonic, its richness beautifully offset by a wicked backbone of freshness, delivering layer upon layer of nuts, stone fruits and spices, finishing with epic length and impressive lift. Wow! - Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

The 2020 La Tour Blanche is gorgeous. Apricot, dried flowers, mint, chamomile, tangerine and coconut flesh out in the glass. Creamy, resonant and super-expressive, this is an absolute delight in 2020. All the elements are nicely balanced, and pretty floral accents on the finish make it impossible to resist a second taste. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Full-bodied and layered with solid phenolic texture, sweetness and intensity. Dried fruit, such as pineapple. Flavorful finish. - James Suckling

Barrel Sample. Already balanced, the wine has perfumed acidity combined with honeyed sweetness. Underlying the wine is the drier character of the botrytis that gives the wine its richness. It will age, although not as long as some vintages. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
