| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.2 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 141 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Coastalnative on 12/25/2023 & rated 92 points: Lovely this time and getting better. (646 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 12/3/2023: Sauternes Chinese Banquet Dinner: Half bottle. Light color. Honied, pineapple nose. Lovely medium weight and only moderate sweetness. Average acidity and slightly harsh finish but overall nice balance. (1298 views) | | | Tasted by ohne_musik on 12/3/2023 & rated 91 points: All Sauternes, All Night (R & G Lounge, SF): A nice warm up to the night. A bit of green-herb-vanilla characteristic of American oak, but obviously doesn't see any of that. Fresh squeezed orange, a little marmalade, lighter botrytis spice, a bit of menthol that I've never had in Sauternes before. Lighter-medium bodied; fine boned. Doesn't quite have the wow of some of the later wines. (908 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 12/3/2023 & rated 90 points: All-sauternes dinner; 12/2/2023-12/3/2023 (R&G Lounge, San Francisco): From 375mL. Aromatic, honeyed white flowers, slight mint and herbal; balanced, sweet but balanced, elegant, white flowers; finish is medium to medium-plus. I like this more than my previous bottle from 2020. 90
Day 3: Still nicely balanced with more tropical fruit, pineapple. Lovely sauternes, but definitely an unfair comparison with the other wines we had on the table. (928 views) | | | Tasted by gout on 10/22/2023 & rated 92 points: Quite delicious in every way (964 views) | | | Tasted by Putnam Weekley on 10/1/2023 & rated 92 points: Opened alongside an otherwise similar 2016. NOSE: dried mushroom, sultana, roasted meats, citron, candied orange peel, mature fig. MOUTH: gathered, impacted sweetness gives shape to savory spice and woods. Entombed mineral bitterness levers up its appetite stimulation. (1080 views) | | | Tasted by olemski on 1/1/2023 & rated 89 points: PnP. Properly deepened colour consistent with the age. Scent of honey, marzipan and dried apricots. Elegance and harmony, and suitable to drink with a range of dishes. And on its own, of course. Delightful and excellent. (1343 views) | | | Tasted by RickyT12 on 12/29/2022 & rated 92 points: Nice showing, color is definitely mature, orange color, a little light
Dust flavor, honey, slight plastic pool toy, cantelope, hint of pineapple, slight lemon zest, orange zest. Quite nice, but still lacking a bit of weight. The orange zest was especially nice. (1306 views) | | | Tasted by maaike2 on 12/11/2022 & rated 92 points: No mistakes, good fruit, beautiful botrytis. (1380 views) | | | Tasted by RickyT12 on 11/26/2022 & rated 92 points: Almost an Armagnac color. Amber brown.
More floral than fruit. Honey suckle, bergamot tea, overripe apricot, pineapple, good acid on palette. More herbal than fruit and plastic pool toy. Some orange zest bitterness on palette. I am surprised that is not very viscus. A bit disappointed with the short finish. Nice wine though. (1353 views) | | | Tasted by kevin h on 6/5/2022 & rated 93 points: Big improvement on the last half I had of this in 2015. Big botrytis nose with plenty of barley sugar and apricot. Great power and intensity now. Seriously good Sauternes with cream, apricot and more barley sugar flavours. Superb. (1908 views) | | | Tasted by platpeeps on 9/21/2021 & rated 97 points: A perfect blend of wax lemon and honey with notes of orange and almond. Unctuous but lively and fresh, and what a superb length of finish. A Sauternes at it’s very best. 97 points (2400 views) | | | Tasted by Mads Eriksen on 4/5/2021 & rated 89 points: Virkede som om frugten var på vej ned. Meget tertiær i duft/smag. (2572 views) | | | Tasted by Eudemis on 4/3/2021: 14% alcohol. Perfect cork giving a promising smell. The colour is rich gold. The nose has gorse and mirabelle plum. Mouth filling but not over rich, even slightly light weight, but not in a negative way. Finishes on an upward elegant note, confirming my impression that the wine was not chaptalised.
I stopped buying Sauternes a good few years ago, but I am glad to have a reasonable number of these bottles in the cellar. (2198 views) | | | Tasted by Francophile1 on 11/21/2020 & rated 90 points: I've been drinking through my Sauternes lately thanks to Coravin. Interestingly enough, I selected the 2007 tonight instead of the 2005 because when put side by side, the color on the 2007 suggested it was more mature (deep golden, caramel color). The 2005 is still pale yellow and that tells me it is on a slower evolutionary path. A small glass of Doisy Daene is a great way to end the evening. (2607 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 10/12/2020 & rated 88 points: From 375mL. Golden; medium intensity aromatics, white fruit, some baking spice; medium bodied, sweetness still present with medium acidity, fruit more reticent, slight alcohol showing, fruit and secondary complexity doesn’t persist through the mid palate; short-medium finish. Not a bad Sauternes, but not remarkable either. I will wait a few years on my last half bottle. 88
Day 2: No improvement, and if anything less complex today. Unsure if this will improve from here, but hoping this is in a more reticent phase. 87- (2606 views) | | | Tasted by kfrench150 on 8/18/2020 & rated 92 points: 18k gold with polished brass highlights. Candied pineapple, bruleed sugar, dried honey and apricot on the nose. Very round and thick and unctuous on the palate. The flavours are more on the barley sugar, lots of botrytis spice, dried apricot, candied pineapple and buckwheat honey. Good sharp acidity that balances the sweetness nicely, but not quite enough to completely cleanse the palate. Still, it finishes light on its toes and has a very long finish. Very good! (2153 views) | | | Tasted by mtaczak on 8/17/2020 & rated 92 points: Still very primary, nice depth, could use a touch more lift. (1905 views) | | | Tasted by Francophile1 on 7/29/2020 & rated 92 points: Time in bottle has been great to this wine. Haven’t written a tasting note on it since 2016. Why age it longer when it is drinking like liquid gold now? (2102 views) | | | Tasted by PMJak11 on 2/1/2020 & rated 89 points: From a half bottle. Massive peach and burnt caramel flavors. Wasn’t all that thick or deep. A little disappointing as there are better Sauternes out there for the price. (2546 views) | | | Tasted by khmark7 on 10/20/2019 & rated 92 points: Quality here. Bright tangerine and honey. Great depth as well. (2643 views) | | | Tasted by jee27 on 6/20/2019 & rated 91 points: Très joli Sauternes de couleur or pâle, belle fraîcheur et pûreté il se boit merveilleusement bien en ce moment! (3370 views) | | | Tasted by colmanstephenson on 6/9/2019: A: Gold->Brass
N: Burnt/Brown Sugar. Strong Botrytis character
P: Quince, Mandarin Incredible plush mid palate. Dense non-sweet finish. Not particularly lifted/acidic, but not cloying either. The whole is very integrated.
=: this is gorgeous. (2635 views) | | | Tasted by hargy on 5/2/2019 & rated 88 points: like so many 2007's, very sweet and not enough acidity to balance for my tastes - not sure it will improve in time but leave (2925 views) | | | Tasted by jeffreylubowski on 10/20/2018 & rated 87 points: Perhaps an off bottle. Tasting tired, advanced. deep gold color that most 2007 take. That seems to be the story with 2007 for me. Some sauternes are amazing and others seemed a bit simple and sweet and too far along.

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanBarsac Appellation Barsac - Read details and information about Barsac |
