Lively and layered. Apricot floral notes and plenty of lingering complexity. Wonderful. — 7 days ago

Much topper flavors that in the 2023 Kabinett tasted alongside, but this wine is not that much sweeter. Instead the lime, green apple and pear of the Kabinett are replaced with vibrant peach, apricot and a touch of green pineapple. Mango and papaya hover in the miss with vibrant honeysuckle, wet stonestone and flint. Vibrant acidity frames the abundant fruit - it’s a real triumph but needs three or four years to really show its depth and intensity. Lovely wine and incredibly long on the palate. — 21 days ago

NOSE: apricot jelly…pineapple…vanilla cookie.

TASTE: peach, mango, apricot, pineapple, vanilla cream, caramel. Cooked peach (like canned peach juice) lingers — lengthy finish. Almost over the top! 93. — 5 months ago

A major leap here. Clean and crisp. Some skin contact. But this is not your average Orange wine. Filtered lightly. No sediment at all! Apricot, mandarine, plenty of acid, big and broad with a lot of body. A little more rustic then their new top of the line whites with new labels. — 6 months ago

Without doubt the greatest sticky I’ve ever tasted. I nosed it for 30 mins, it was so clear and bright with tropical fruit and light stony minerality. The apricot and mango were lifted over my palate by actual angels who may’ve swiped a taste on the brief journey. Wish I could’ve sat up with a last glass all night, thank you Lenny. 🙏🏼 — 14 days ago

Orange tinged pale golden colour. Excellent pure nose of apricot, iodine and spices. Unctuous on the palate yet supported by a great backbone of acidity. Great depth of flavour and very satisfying length. A great wine by any standard. — 2 months ago

Terrific example of a high quality Sauternes with lemon zest, peach, apricot and pineapple plus dried apricot, honey, beeswax, saffron, ginger, vanilla and butterscotch. Excellent acidity to balance the restrained sweetness of the wine. Still young with plenty of room to develop. — 5 months ago

Served with Fisherman’s Pasta - sablefish, mussels, saffron gnocchetti pasta, fennel, fresh baguette toast. If there is one thing constant about every Lopez de Heredia Blanco that I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying, it’s that they are never boring. The 2006 delivers on that with notes of dates, dried apricot, German candied nuts, marshmallows, cumin, dill and toasted coconut. Dry with fantastic acid and the texture is waxy. One of my favorite white wines on earth. Will probably live for another 20 years easy. — 20 days ago

Caramel, toffee, ripe fig and apricot. Loads of burnt honey botrytis. Rich and tertiary in the mouth. Delicious. Drink soonish. — 5 months ago
