"Pale to medium lemon-gold colored, the 2010 Climens offers a lifted, floral nose of orange blossoms and jasmine over a core of lime cordial, grapefruit oil and dried apricots plus hints of lemon preserves and ginger nut. Very sweet, hedonic and fantastically seductive in the mouth, the concentration is beautifully offset by lovely freshness, finishing with fantastic length." -Lisa Perrotti-Brown

"You shouldn't need an excuse to open Sauternes but Christmas is a great occasion with plenty of opportunitues to enjoy its many styles. Choose this 2010 for a rich treat and savour it's balance, freshness and depth, full of succulent tropical fruit, exotic spice flavours and honeyed brioche. Enjoy before, during or after a meal!" -Georgie Hindle

"Dense and lush now, offering tangerine, apricot, honey-roasted almond and dacquoise notes, with a long, powerful, honeyed finish that lets toasted coconut and mango cruise through. The lovely dried pineapple and honeysuckle accents flitter through the background. Shows stunning length and depth. This will become dreamy with age." -James Molesworth

"Full and very rich, this is an opulent style of wine. It has a ripe, tropical fruit feel to it, offering power as well as fresh acidity. Pineapples and lychees give fruitiness, perfume and spice. The aftertaste, with its liquorous character, is gloriously warm and concentated." -Roger Voss
