Tasted at the Sauternes 2006 ten-year on horizontal in Bordeaux. The 2006 Climens still feels youthful on the nose, a car revving its engine but yet to release the handbrake. The palate is medium-bodied with harmonious, honeyed marmalade and quince-tinged fruit, plenty of botrytis and perhaps here, a little more advanced than the aromatics. They will catch up in time to complete the gorgeous, quite ravishing yet tensile Climens from Berenice Lurton and her team.

This embryonic wine was looking wonderful. Rich, broad, extremely dense and pristine with the merest hint of ginger – certainly something spicy. Bright, not too heavy and with intense but not excessive sweetness. Great balance.
