Back to list Noble One (1995)"A quick onset of botrytis. Deep amber with a golden rim. The nose is more developed than the 1991 with apple tarte tatin which follows through on a rich palate with caramelised apricot and citrus acidity to balance. Not as fine as the 91 but powerful. 150g/l residual sugar/11% abv" Sarah Ahmed, The Wine Detective (UK), September 2009 "Once again Noble One was the top scoring wine in the Wine International's ten year on tasting for sweet wine with a score of 92 points. It was the only Australian wine in the segment and scored higher than wines from Sauternes, Alsace, Austria, Germany, South Africa and Canada. A lovely nose that is full of richly botrytic orange fruit, balanced by wonderful acidity." Wine International, Ten Years on Tasting, June 2005 "The king of the stickies is unquestionably De Bortoli's Noble which is hailed as the world's best dessert wine after the highly celebrated French Chateau d'Yquem...it has breathtaking richness and light acidity that makes it a regular trophy winner at home and abroad."
