The 2010 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a pale straw-gold color. It needs some patient swirling to coax out youthful notes of orange blossoms, lemon curd, and grapefruit oil, giving way to more fragrant floral scents of jasmine...

(96-98 points) A blockbuster Sauternes, the 2025 Château Suduiraut is 100% Sémillon that will spend 16 to 20 months in equal parts new and one-vintage-old barrels. It delivers massive orange blossom, caramelized peach...

Pale to medium gold with a touch of amber in the color, the 1987 d'Yquem springs from the glass with spritely notes of preserved lemons, lime leaves, and candied orange peel plus hints of chamomile and ginger tea. The...

So rich and powerful with so much dried apricots and citrus aromas and flavors. Caramel and toffee. Full and very sweet. Amazing.

The 1988 Doisy-Daene has a slightly muted nose coming after the 89, needing coaxing from the glass, touches of petrol infusing the honeyed from but missing the same degree of complexity. The palate is balanced but a...

The 2011 Coutet is simpler on the nose compared to the 2010, with dried honey, white chocolate and a touch of elderflower. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening, fresh and vibrant, with a gentle build towards...

The 1977 d'Yquem has 81 grams per liter of residual sugar. Medium gold-amber in color, it sashays out with delicate notes of chamomile tea, cinnamon stick, and burnt sugar, plus hints of tobacco and truffles. The palate...

Hints of saffon and fresh truffle, dominated by juicy peach, apricot pit, satsuma and lemon peel notes, so drinkable and graceful, drawn out, languid, pleasurable. Less concentrated than the 2022 and 1989 that we also...

(95+ points) The 2014 Yquem has a potent nose with yellow plum, tangerine, peach and honey, exuberant and with plenty of botrytis. There is a real presence in this wine. The palate is well balanced with an unctuous entry...

Luxurious. Every year that it ages, this wine reveals a new level of complexity, lush confit of pineapple, fresh pear, white fruits and blossoms, gingerbread, baked almonds and touch of bitterness, enhanced by a zesty...

The 2017 d'Yquem is simply stunning, evoking both a minty and fresh bouquet with aromas of apricot, baked pear, saffron, honeycomb and flowers. Full-bodied, rich and seamless, it’s perfectly balanced with a beautiful...

The 2018 d'Yquem is a great success despite a challenging harvest, exuding aromas of peach, pear, menthol and orchard fruits, complemented by an elegant, floral-driven bouquet. It’s remarkably balanced and fresh on the...

Unctuous and flattering, with a mix of toasted coconut and macadamia nut notes infusing the mango, peach and papaya flavors at the core. The broad, soft, honeyed finish fills in with piecrust and lemon curd notes. A bit...

This has rich caramelised nectarine and apricot fruits, a sense of uplift and steel through the core. It is sweet in its texture but not in its expression, and there is such a lift through the finish that you feel...

Aromas of dried mushroom. Full body, bright acidity and a volatile undertone. Some spice. Not showing right at first but then opens into a pretty fresh and spice Sauternes.

The 2016 Climens has a wonderful bouquet similar to my last bottle, more expressive now with orange pith, wild honey and quince. Like before it opens wonderfully in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with fine...
