Tasting Notes

Tasting notes
Score 17/20 · FINE+RARE

Much more focus on exotic fruits, such as guava, mango and pineapple, than stone fruits on both the nose and the palate. Very fresh. Good acidity, with hints of minerality, nutmeg, cinnamon, quince and mango. Long fresh fruit finish. FINE+RARE

Score 91-93/100 · Jeannie Cho Lee MW

Elegant, refined style, typical of Guiraud. Silky sweetness with finely woven flavours and long finish. Combines finesse with depth. Delicate yet intense, the wine possesses breeding and immense drinkability. Jeannie Cho Lee MW, AsianPalate.com

Score 95-96/100 · James Suckling

A super intense and lively Sauternes with dried pineapple, flan and botrytis spice character. Full and very muscular with racy acidity and a wicked finish. This is structured and powerful. Can't feel that much sweetness yet it is. Cross between 2003 and 2005? James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
