Sauternes.

CHÂTEAU DE FARGUES 2005 (1)

Sauternes.
u. vts.

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

CHÂTEAU DE FARGUES 2007 (3)

Sauternes.
u. 3 x vts. 1 x stained label.

It is utterly harmonious with a thrilling, edgy finish that expresses the terroir with great clarity. There is an effervescent quality that really takes the 2007 to another level, while the marmalade and white pepper finish is powerful and leaves a lasting impression. This is a fabulous 2007, one of the wines of the vintage. Tasted April 2013. WA 97
