Strong apricot and peach aroma with acidic with a slightly barny acidic taste. Loved it although only great for a glass or two due to strong flavor. — 11 years ago
Just an amazing expression of Terroir, totally naked and brilliantly balanced, including dusty tannins and dito minerality, Syrah spice and a meat stock infused finish. Note to Self - Clos Saron rules! — 12 years ago
Light and peachy flavor. Great summer wine! — 11 years ago
Amazing peach & apricot flavors. Nothing like a NZ sav — 12 years ago
Such an aromatic wine, evoking eucalyptus and beeswax, buzzing acidity of white peach and ruby red grapefruit on a long, long finish, just outstanding. — 13 years ago
Slightly off-dry with nice acid to balance. White peach & nectarine all over the place. Good choice with sushi! — 11 years ago
Delicious peach focus with a fine honey fizz — 12 years ago
Half-bottle. The wine was medium amber in colour and offered orange peel, apple, honeycomb, caramel, smoke, spices, sherry and a mouldy note on the nose. On the palate the wine showed orange, peach, apple, cane sugar, caramel, smoke, spices, creamy honey, some coffee, a hint of chocolate, sherry, mild black tea and a mouldy note, paired with medium-plus acidity, a creamy honey mouthfeel and very good length. Judged by this half-bottle the wine has just passed its plateau and started its slow journey on the downward slope. A good, medium-bodied Sauternes with lots of botrytis character. Drink now. 89 — 12 years ago
