HSE Château La Tour Blanche - Brut de Fût 2009
The Sauternes cask is the whole story here, and it divides people. Overripe grapes, raisin and a heavy, almost dosed sweetness run through the palate — one taster swears it was paired with a Beerenauslese dessert wine. Wine lovers call it a delight; a couple find it borders on too sweet. Underneath sits agricole cane and soft oak from ten years in barrel.

Sauternes-cask agricole, rich noble-rot sweetness Wine drinkers rate it highly for its noble-rot sweetness; the catch is exactly that — some find the Sauternes influence tips past their idea of a rum.

Review by Thunderbird
Tastingabend bei Dr. Django: Dieser HSE ist eine echte Überraschung. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ein Rum mit einer Beerenauslese gepaart wurde. Die Nase empfinde ich noch als relativ flach. Am Gaumen anfangs eine schwere Süße, fast so, als wäre eine Dosage hinzugefügt worden. Dann aber diese schwere süsse überreifer Trauben..im Abgang verstärkt sich das ganze noch einmal zu besagter Edelfäule einer Beerenauslese. Eigen das Ganze, aber gut
Review by La Brute de Futs
a clear example of HSE's aging and finishing masterskills. delicious and balanced, this rum opens up like a charm. you can literally find Sauterne's notes in the nosing and tasting. a true delight if you're, like myself, a wine aficionado. worth every penny to be honest.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Parfait équilibre au nez et en bouche. L’intensité aromatique est intense, vraiment excellent.
