CH. GUIRAUD, Sauternes 1er Grand Cru Classé, 2009
Review by Neal Martin Wine Advocate # 188 (Apr 2010) Rating: (94-96) Drink - Cost: $29-$66
"The 2009 Guiraud is very tight on the nose, taking time to unfurl, with notes of apricot, peach, a touch of honeysuckle and quince. Good definition. The palate is impressive: tightly coiled, honeyed fruit, very fine acidity, linear at first then fanning out across the finish with notes of dried apricot, nectarine, a touch of almond and a faint hint of spice. With good length and unctuous on the finish, this Guiraud is impossible to ignore."
