1 er Château Guiraud Grand Cru Classé 2009 Sauternes, average price $70, 95 points, poured a lustrous orange copper color.
Profound smells of honey, bees wax, pine resin, and burning Mandarin peel were amazing.
Full-bodied with a saber for its acidity, nutmeg, honey, orange zest, and apricot pushing its flavors from summer to autumn, to winter, and finally to spring as metaphors representing the generous profundity of this wine; if anything, this Sauterne was over-stimulating.
Finished forever on the trailing palate, ginger, and ripe pineapple with an appropriate 13.5% alcohol.
Paired well with my rustic blueberry/peach tart.
