Sauternes Blend Wine

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: OMG. This is amazing. This is the new 2001. Incredible purity of botrytis and ripeness. Full-on. So driven and precise. Full-bodied, very sweet and electrified. Pineapple jam and mangoes — endless tropical fruits. This...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The Sigalas Rabaud was sensational out of barrel and served blind, the wine does nothing to dispel my initial optimism that this is the apogee for the estate – so far. It is bestowed with an intense bouquet of quince...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 90 points: It has a glorious nose of dried apricot honey and candle wax with hints of creme brulee in the background. The palate displays very good weight and poise with a harmonious quince marmalade and lime tinged finish...

Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: #25 on the Top 100 Cellar Selections; A big rich wine showing its gorgeous fruit easily. But with a core of dryness the ripest apricots touched by caramel it should age well over many years. There is intense power here...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This appears to be the synthesis of the fabulous 2001 and 2003. It shows wonderful aromas of botrytis spice, honey and citrus rind. Lots of fruit with a tropical fruit undertone of mango and papaya on the palate. Intense...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: For a 2004, this is big and rich, but that is to be expected from Guiraud. The fruit is magnificently ripe, with flavors of peach and tangerine syrup along with the core of botrytis and dark honey. The aftertaste is...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: (WA95-97 points) The 2015 Doisy-Daene has a detailed bouquet, very correct, nothing showy or flamboyant as is typical of Denis Dubourdieu's Barsac. The palate is extremely well balanced and very pure: citrus fruit...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: Served from an ex-chateau bottle. The 2009 Chateau d’Yquem is one showstopper of a wine and perhaps it is only in a vertical that you realize this is up there among the legendary wines of the past – the 2001 included. It...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: Very backward today with viscous green plum green almond quince pineapple fig and pear notes still assimilating one another. The long toasted almond- and ginger-filled finish has terrific depth.-J.M.

View From The Cellar, 98 points: 98+ The 2010 Château d’Yquem is an utterly stunning young wine and a very worthy follow-up to the magical wine produced at this estate in 2009. The bouquet is deep, complex and flat out brilliant, as it soars from the...
