Château Guiraud
Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
2010 vintage ( half bottle). Looks fairly young, compared to Liot 2010 tasted alongside. But it suffers from the comparison in nose and taste. Less abundant and complex than both Liot 2010 and Guiraud 2009. Good, but not as good as expected.

Oct 21st, 2024Odd off oak notes. Same on day 2. Not sure if this was just awkward or flawed.

Jan 2nd, 2022Lovely and luxury Sauternes. This wine has a deep gold color, nose is complex and rich with aromas of botrytis, honey, spring flowers, light citrus, apricot, full creamy body, lovely acidity, pleasant sweetness and a lovely elegant finish. Already pleasant today and will mature over the next two decades, my score91, drink to 2035 perhaps longer .

Jun 2nd, 2016Youthful, yet quite delicious. Honeyed apricots, a touch of ginger, and dried tangerine peel. This has some weight that I hope fleshes out over the next 20+ years.
