Chateau Bastor-Lamontagne Sauternes France 2005

84/100
Moderately botrytised Sauternes with honey, toasted nut and musk flavours. Semillon varietal character is evident. Only moderately sweet with a reasonably dry-ish finish. Has the character of Sauternes but lacks the intensity and complexity of superior Sauternes.
