Tasted at Chateau Climens. A slightly lighter colour than the 2007. The nose has a tightly-coiled bouquet of tinned apricot and orange-blossom, with a hint of tangerine in the background. The palate has a rounded, sensuous entry, lovely texture and so cohesive. Perfectly judged acidity, tangerine and apricots in the background coming forth with aeration, then just a faint hint of ginger towards the finish. A great Barsac ’06. Gorgeous vanilla tinged aftertaste. Drink now-2036+. - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
This offers lots of honey and toffee aromas, with lemon, orange peel and apricot character. Full-bodied, very sweet and rich. Thick and flavorful, with vanilla, spice and cream character as well. Builds on the palate. Best after 2012. - James Suckling, Wine Spectator
Minty, marmalade, really complex aromatic range – smoke, toasted nuts, ripe apricots, red apples. Wonderful, magical stuff. - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com
