(Chateau de Fargues) #2; (very wet vintage, but August was perfect); COLOR-beautiful dark golden; NOSE-much more honey; honey meets chlorine; very intriguing; hints of apricots; TASTE-outrageous weight on the mid-palate; Honeycomb cereal; really, really heavy pear component; I'm loving the orange peel aspect; very youthful Sauterne, not ready yet - it's gonna get better from here; solid acidity, but a little flabby in the mid-palate which concerns me a tad; nice long finish; very bright; star fruit on the finish; little hints of pineapple; I'm enjoying this wine; it's got BIG potential; RP-94/96; GV-93
