  Pretty much as you can read below, a cheap sauternes but 3 years on; citrus, could be a tad fresher & less sugary but perfectly pleasant.
  Nothing to write home about.

  As another reviewer notes regarding the 2010 vintage, this is not as good as the Waitrose own-brand Sauternes by Ch. Suduiraut, though it is comparable in price (Sainsbury's and Waitrose are UK supermarkets). I guess this is 'rebadged' Petit Guiraud rather than Le Dauphin, though the cork and label give no clues. It is very light in body, fresh and quaffable as a young Sauternes can be. Not a great deal on the nose except a generic Sauternais impression. Primary, varietal flavours on the palate.
