Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, France
2nd growth Sauternes, .375ml bottle shared w friends. Lanolin, liqueur soaked apple, acid forms almost miraculously at end of the long finish. End cap to a fine 3 course meal, cooked & served by culinary students at a local university. Paired perfectly to a deconstructed Tarte tartin & Vietnamese cinnamon ice cream- wowza!

Oct 9th, 20252019 vintage. Second wine of the incredible Château Suduiraut. Light golden colour. Beautiful nose, blending exotic fruits, flowers, and the typical roasted botrytis aromas. Delicious in the mouth, with bright fruit and vibrant acidity. With its impeccable purity and balance, this can be enjoyed young, but will keep for at least a decade. Very high standard for a second wine, one can imagine what the grand vin would be!

Sep 5th, 20252nd growth Sauternes but with all the deep, honeyed, Lanolin notes of a first growth. Color too reflects the palate. Paired with plain roasted chicken to great success.

Ripe peach-apricot nose with honeyed apples and stone fruits on the palate. Clean texture, brilliant color, but the alcohol hits hard! Pair with soft salty washrind cheese and salted caramel desserts, or perhaps warm Brie baked with candied apples.

Didn’t get a chance to have any on Thanksgiving, but this is a nice dessert wine with notes of honey, apricot and apple. Nice way to end the evening.

Honey, Apricot, small hints of salmiak. Sweet and bit of acids, balanced on the sweet side.

2010, great nose of summer flowers and brown sugar. Not too sticky sweet and great balance this one will be a long lived dessert wine! Glad I bought a 6 pack for my daughters birthyear

Aug 26th, 2017Had a nice crisp and sweet scent. The flavors were of buttercream frosting, vanilla and bread. Tasty.
