Chateau Guiraud Description
The nose is all complexity: fruits (pare, apricot, apple, mandarin, crystallized fruits, coconut), flowers (violet), vanilla, mint, spices, pepper, almond, hazelnut, botrytis. Rich, fine, full bodied, aromatic, complex. The mouth is round and full bodied, wide and smooth, a lot of matter and length. Spicy notes, humus, mushroom, crystallized fruits. All freshness.
James Suckling: 98 Points
"Aged Sauternes is phenomenal. It's dark gold with a bright gold edge. Full and very intense with layers of dried apricots and orange peel. Tropical fruit too. This continues to open on the palate and become more young. Crazy intensity and sensuality. Superb now."
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
This full-bodied Sauternes stretches the limits of botrytis. Offers loads of beeswax, almost moldy aromas, yet it is fresh and zingy with plenty of honey, spice, toast and lemon flavors.
