Château de Malle

Sauternes Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc 2006

Last had 2 years ago and this continues to improve! Quite nice and amber in the glass. The tropical notes leap out of the glass. Quite a lot of depth and density, and the acid has come more to the foreground which is nice. Sauternes is obviously not in vogue but this is very tasty. — 9 months ago

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2003

Popped and poured; enjoyed after dinner. The 2003 pours a beautiful amber color with and transparent core; medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of honey, dried apricots, marmalade, marzipan, and candied nuts. On the palate, the wine is sweet with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose along with some tropical fruits: passion fruit and pineapple. The finish is long and decadent. Unctuous and a lovely way to capstone a meal. Drink now through 2053+ — a year ago

Château Climens

Haut Barsac 1er Cru Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1980

Nice color and aromatics of caramel and toffee. 39 years and shows a mix of age and soft maturity. Best with a light fruit based dessert like lemon or lime based cake perhaps. Fun to share at Bourbon Steak @ Levi Stadium. — 7 years ago

Château Doisy-Védrines

Sauternes Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1996

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

Alive and kicking! And beautiful at that. The balance you want and come to expect in a top notch Sauternes between sugar, alcohol, fruits.

Château Petit Védrines

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2005

Second growth Sauternes showing well after meal with friends. For some reason seemed to be more complex than my first bottle several months ago. Chunky marmalade & lanolin notes, oh so integrated after 16 years in bottle. Still fresh & with some snap. — 4 years ago

Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey

Pale gold color and a restrained nose showing a bit of pineapple, guava and honey but just lacking sufficient apricot and caramel to give it real botrtis character. Nice but a bit lacking — 8 years ago

Closed fruity/ mineral nose. Palate at first closed, even dilute; then stronger white fruit, good acid, sturdy minerals; improves after an hour. Then fruit (citrus/ stone fruit/ star fruit) and saline minerals; finishes with star fruit, a bit of oak, a hint of anise. Might expect more development in a few years. — 3 years ago
