WA 90-92Geoffrey Binder, JJ Buckley, April 2011
90% semillon, 6% sauvignon blanc, 4% muscadelle. Aged in 100% new oak. Planted to clay, gravel and sand on top of limestone bed rock. A big, spicy nose displays botrytis, mixed with lighter citrus notes and toasted coconut. The palate carries this heavy botrytis mixed with toasted nuts, along with a creamy texture, kept fresh with bright acid for a round, short long finish. Enjoy through 2030.

The 2010 Nairac displays precision and minerality on the fresh, vibrant, lifted nose, with hints of beeswax and honeysuckle. The palate has a very lively, zesty entry with good acidity and tension, the finish needing time to meld together, but vibrant and vigorous. This Nairac is not as immediate as the 2009, but it will offer immense pleasure by bottling and may warrant a higher mark. -Neal Martin
