Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Friday, September 12, 2014 - A lesson in Sauternes by Jürg Richter (Restaurant Farnsburg, Switzerland): I never like this wine in the past tastings, but this time it was different. Initially, just aer a pop-and-pour I rated it 89 points and was unimpressed. It was nearly muted in the nose, quite floral with some honey notes. But then after 3 hours this baby tuned up and was showing so beautiful notes of caramel-fleur-de-sel with so much added weight and sweetness. That tells me that this one just needs to sit in the cellar for at least another 10 years.
