2007 Château de Fargues - Sauternes (375ml)

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Sauternes

WA 94

Tasted single blind against its peers. The de Fargues 2007 is a tease, comparatively light on the nose at first, offering tempting scents of pressed white flowers, yellow plums and custard cremes. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely viscous texture and fine acidity with hints of ginger and barley sugar towards the Barsac-like finish. Watch this blossom over the next decade. Tasted January 2011.

2009 Château de Fargues - Sauternes (375ml)

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Sauternes

WA 97

"How absolutely refreshing the more acid nature of Fargues is in a vintage of such richness! It acts as a veritable flavour enhancer, bringing out the strongly mineral character of the terroir and the forceful tea and cinnamon flavours of the botrytis, still noticeable even after 6 months of ?levage. This is a broadly constituted, strong flavoured, quite forceful Sauternes (Maybe it wasn't by chance that Comte Alexandre served the almost equally strong ?83 for lunch after our last tasting). It has clearly been built for the long haul, not only for the extra year of ?levage in barrel that they do here, but also for really long-term cellaring in bottle."

2009 Château Rieussec - Sauternes

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Sauternes

WA 95

"Rieussec flourishes in highly concentrated vintages, and 2009 is no exception. With 150 pickers working two 8-hour shifts, they managed to keep up to date with the year's rapid botrytis, and so maintained a total purity, elegance and complexity of flavour, and at 4,0 g/l, a high tone of acidity. At the same time, at 160 g/l residual, the wine is as usual unashamedly rich. The result is that honeyed sort of purity in the concentration that we saw something of in the historic '89 and '01, possibly superior to the former and almost up to the latter. The balance seems so natural and gives the impression of being able to age for a century or more."

2007 Château Suduiraut - Sauternes

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Sauternes

WS 95

WE 95

WA 93

The nose takes time to coalesce in the glass, very pure with honey, white peach, Turkish Delight honeysuckle, and beeswax. The palate is beautifully balanced, still with some oak to be subsumed, but has great depth and precision. This is a confident, almost ambitious Suduiraut with great power and intensity towards the botrytis-rich, viscous finish that is endowed with great persistency. Lovely. Drink now-2030.
