| | "This is a tough call to make, as the wine is still in 14 of the original 17 lots and a prototype blend has not yet been attempted. So we just have to taste all the lots and then do the assemblage in our heads. The main body of the blend will be composed of the highly botrytised pickings of 2nd to 6th October. These lots taste rich yet very fine, almost delicate and extremely florally expressive. They will be blended with the smaller and also finer and lighter first pickings and some but not all of the heavier final ones. My guess is that this is classic Climens: not over-sweet or overstated in any way, all purity and finesse, albeit on a background of rich intensity, which will be slightly less sweet in appearance than '07."
