1997 Haut Bergeron - Sauternes Barsac , Bordeaux, France

Haut Bergeron - Sauternes: this wine is located next to d'Yquem (one couldn't dream for a smarter neighbour!). The wine is not classified, but has dramatically improved its quality during the last decade. 
The colour is surprisingly dark for such a young wine (to drink a four years old Sauternes is almost infanticid !). Nice aromatic nose with exotic scents of lychee, floral, not very long. Nice and fat in mouth, lacks a bit of acidity. A bit too ripe. Limited ageing potential to my view. Drink 2005 - 2010. 84/100.
