2005 Guiraud Sauternes Blend
Reviews of 2005 Guiraud Sauternes Blend
95 points, Wine Enthusiast
June 2008
Typical of the huge power of Guiraud, this is one of the richest Sauternes in 2005. The wine is rich and intense, the dry edge of botrytis just dominating the sweetness. Flavors of honey, almonds and peaches give the wine extra complexity

Wine Spectator #4 Wine of 2008!
Delivers lots of botrytis spice, with lemon tart and cooked apple. Full-bodied, with cream, vanilla and an intense tropical fruit and honey aftertaste. Long and viscous, with a beautiful spicy finish. Best after 2014.—J.S.
