Description
Robert Parker: Proprietor Berenice Lurton continues to turn out one
of the utterly profound wines from the Barsac Sauternes region. The
2006 is not up there with their perfect 2001, but it is a beautiful
wine and stands out as one of the top wines of 2006. Medium gold,
with a slightly more advanced color than I am used to seeing in a
young Climens, the wine displays waxy honeyed pineapple and
delicate marmalade and citrus notes with a restrained use of new
oak. The wine cuts a full-bodied swath across the palate with
terrific acidity, freshness, and moderate sweetness. This is a
beauty, but perhaps on a much faster evolutionary track than some
of their greatest vintages.
