Sweet - Sauternes
A terrific evening with great company and incredible wines.
1996 Château de Fieuzal Blanc 90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Very funky, racy and fresh. So youthful, based on cork condition this has a long road ahead.
Mangosteens, star fruit, wet stones, sous bois, gooseberry, scorched earth, minerals.
Not sure what % the blend is but probably more sauv blanc than semillon. Mixed reception to this one from the group but I was a big fan of this. One of the group members noted this drinks like Smith Haut Laffite of same vintage.

2000 Château Carbonnieux Blanc 87 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Better on the first day. Not sure if the wine is past peak as others have stated. I believe this is just more the style. Very waxy and oxidated with bright deep golden color. Could pass as an aperitif.
