CHÂTEAU DE FARGUES 2005 (2)

Sauternes.
u. 1 x bn. 1 x vts. 2 x soiled labels.

The palate is powerful and authoritative: intense botrytis-rich honeyed fruit with compelling mineralité underneath. It fans out in glorious fashion – a stunning de Fargues that is now beginning to show its talents. As I remarked a couple of years ago, just afford it a couple more years so that it can fully absorb the vestiges of oak. June 2015 Drink to 2045 WA 95
