One of the fruits of the exceptional 1989 vintage is the La Tour Blanche. This wine has a rich honey colored hue and opens with ripe aromas of white raisin, honeydew melon, golden delicious and crème brûlée. There is a beautiful combination of richness and smoothness on the mid-palate, as this wine glides seamlessly. Flavors of crème brûlée, orange marmalade, vanilla bean, apricot, honey and pineapple lead to an incredible, 30 second long finish Amazing that this wine is 26 years old but still has the vibrant minerality and acid structure to hold up the fruit.
