The 2012 Bastor-Lamontagne offers light honeyed scents on the simple, but clean, appealing nose. However, returning after ten minutes, the sample appears to lose some vigor. The palate is simple but well-defined on the entry. There is a little volatility towards the finish, although it seems to fade too rapidly compared to its peers.

Fresh lively style typical of this property. Tasted twice, one bottle showed very well, while another was dumb. This year there is more richness in the mid palate than usual. Elegant and focused. Drink 2018-2030. (16 points)

The Bastor-Lamontagne offers a more exotic bouquet that its peers, with subtle tropical fruit aromas mingling with kiwi fruit and even a hint of toffee apple. It is well-defined but it needs to develop more intensity during maturation. The palate has a spicy entry with mint-tinged, honeyed fruit that leads to a precise, mineral-rich, focused finish that offers a touch of shaved ginger on the aftertaste. This is an intriguing Sauternes that should age with style and may offer more after bottling. Drink 2014-2028.
