Had several different bottles of this great Sauternes! The taste was nothing short of stellar! Apricots, vanilla, peaches, only begin to describe this full bodied wine. The after taste stays in your mouth over 2 mins........too good!

Tasted this at the Chateau itself! Beautiful, full bodied Sauternes! Very similar to the Y'quem just up the street, but a fraction the price. Well worth drinking. Honey, apricots, peaches come to mind. I cant imagine anyone would be disappointed drinking this beautiful wine.

Actually went to Bordeaux and tasted this wine at the Chateau! What a great experience, to drink this wine in situ. Having said that, I would score this wine at a 92. Fully bodied Bordeaux, with hints of cassis, berries. The finish was just ok. Definitely better than the Mission de Haut Brion, same year, which was much lighter, and a bit sour on its ending.
