A very interesting nose, almost petrol, almost the nobel rot of a sauterne... but oh that flavor... plump yellow raisins and figs in a luscious body, sweet without being syrupy. Yum! — a year ago

FINALLY turning the Corner and some secondary elements emerging like an aged Sauterne, dried apricots, nuts but still very restrained sweetness . . pairs well with the cheeses, Marcona almonds , prosciutto . . will try again tomorrow with some Foir Gras torchon . . — 5 years ago

Mon dieu. Although tested after midnight on midsummer’s eve alongside a Sauterne, this wine is so fresh and vibrant, deep dark dried fruits spiced up with some younger unripe ones, and honey, wax, and marmelade. — 5 years ago

Not their best Sauterne but still nice supple white from Guiraud. 50:50 Sauvignon blanc: semillion nicely balanced but some hits of Sauternes on the nose. Bang for the buck. — 7 years ago

Dark, rich garnet in color. That "noble rot" sauterne smell with lots of savory aromas. Dark fruit and lots of herbs on the palate, with lots of tannins that were pretty smooth and only mildly grippy (after 2.5 hours decanting!). Taking a bottle home to lay down for 6-7 you years, as suggested by sommelier Michael Kwas. Wonderfully paired with lamb ribeye, ratatouille, new potatoes, braised lamb belly, herbs de provence, red wine jus; softened the tannins and brought out the herbs in the wine.

Sauterne-y, negroni-y, nice acidity and oaky. Compliments cod nicely and rich finish. — 6 years ago
