Domaine Fleuron de Liot

Saint Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

9.2

This left bank BDX is wonderful. Very grippy tannins, leathery and earthy but with some air giving away to layered red and dark fruit. Beautiful Cassis notes. Nice minerals. At $30, a really nice value. — 20 days ago

Château Guiraud

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2010

Stefan Dolhain

9.0

2010 vintage ( half bottle). Looks fairly young, compared to Liot 2010 tasted alongside. But it suffers from the comparison in nose and taste. Less abundant and complex than both Liot 2010 and Guiraud 2009. Good, but not as good as expected. — 2 years ago

Barsac White Blend 1975

1975. Easily wotn. Almond, shredded coconut, hints of stone fruit. Barsac's lower sweetness suits me very well. Only complain a bit short. Buy. — 12 years ago

Sauternes

Stefan Dolhain

9.5

2010 vintage. Technically a Barsac, but sold as Sauternes ( Barsac being the only Sauternes commune allowed to do so). Much deeper, more evolved colour compared to the 2010 Guiraud (in half bottle!) tasted alongside. Intense perfume with wild apricot, roasted pineapple, and caramelised nuts. Richer than the Guiraud, this is a very impressive effort that is definitely of Cru Classé quality. Superb value too. — 2 years ago
