1997 Nairac - Sauternes Barsac, Bordeaux, France

1997 Chateau Nairac (Barsac) - 2ème Cru Classé
Pretty dark gold colour. A lot of botrytis, crystallized fruits, oranges. Very fresh, well balanced body and a pretty long aftertaste. A very nice 1997 Nairac to enjoy all throughout this decade 2005 - 2015. 90/100

2004 Nairac - Sauternes Barsac, Bordeaux, France

Elegant, classic bouquet with hints of dried apricot and botrytis. Extremely pure and well-focused on the palate. Concentrated, but in no way heavy. Subtle texture and beautiful freshness. There is a fascinating mineral side to this wine that carries all the way through to the long, well-balanced aftertaste. A very beautiful wine.
