93 Points

Sunday, December 18, 2022 - 16x Right Bank Bordeaux 1998: Two sweet wines from 1998 to finish the tasting. The Pirramimma Riesling (85pts) from Australia was a hot, alcoholic mess with loads of petrol notes and heat but had a good freshness/sweetness balance. Not my favorite aroma profile. The Lafaurie Peyraguey (93pts) show much better with the typical Sauternes saffron aromas and quince, apricot and minerality as additional components. Here too, a good freshness/sweetness balance. Clearly not the most complex wine either, but a treat to drink.
