2007 Chateau De Malle Sauternes

Tasted single blind against its peers. The Chateau de Malle 2007 is very pure on the nose: touches of lemon curd, apricot-blossom and white peach with a crystalline clarity. The palate is very well-balanced with impressive levels of botrytis, displaying a pinch of spice on the entry. It has put on weight in recent months and developed a convincing caressing finish imbued with tension. This exceeds my previous expectations. Tasted January 2011. Review Date: December 2011
