A lovely fresh nose. Palate is less interesting and I think it is a bit low in acid, though some at the table disagreed. Nice spice. Tasted with 88-89-97-01-03-05-06-07 Suduiraut.
Somewhat disappointing. Orange notes, the acidic balance was good. I didn't feel like this competed with any of the more recent vintages. Tasted with 88-89-97-01-03-05-06-07 suduiraut.
A good but nondescript wine. Good tropical fruits, balanced. Simple compared to the other vintages. Tasted with 88-89-97-01-03-05-06-07 suduiraut and the 97 Yquem.
Amazing nose with walnuts and lots of layered complex aromas. Palate doesn't live up to the 2001 Suduiraut that we were tasting. It is good and balanced but palate is simple by comparison.
Hands down the best Sauternes I have ever had and the WOTN. Amazing palate with deep, layered complexity, and fabulous tension. Amazing. Tasted with 88-89-97-01-03-05-06-07 suduiraut.
I thought the nose was a bit reticent, but the palate was divine with fabulous concentration, acidic balance, and layers of flavors. Fabulous. 94-95 pts. This was tasted with 88-89-97-01-03-05-06-07 suduiraut.
A unique nose but a little low on the fruit concentration. A very enjoyable wine that just pales to the comparison vintages in this tasting. We tasted 88-89-97-01-03-05-06-07 Suduiraut.
Light, barsac styled wine with lots of balance but lacking the abundance of tropical fruits expected at such a young age. Of our 88-89-97-01-03-05-06-07 vertical, this was third after the 2001 and 2005.
Great red fruits with spice, red fruits, increased acid. Tannins are still present and wine is just a bit gamey. Excellent and will be better in the future.
