92-94 Barrel sample. A powerful, spice-driven wine, very rich, with a great seasoning of sweet grapefruit and bright, fresh acidity. At the same time, the wine projects richness, intensity.

For the vintage, this is a relatively light wine, even though the botrytis gives some dryness. It is more about honey and sweetness at this stage, with a light, poised, fresh aftertaste.

86-88 Barrel sample. Intriguing wine which brings richness along with fresh, lemon acidity. It takes on a character of a lemon candy, perhaps confected. It is not yet properly integrated.

85-87 A tart edge to this wine, which has apple and cream flavors more than botrytis. It is crisp, fresh and likely to mature soon.

86—88 Barrel sample. Light, fresh and crisp, this wine is on the fresher side of the Sauternes flavor scale. It is very poised, elegant, but doesn’t have the power.

91-93 Fresh, bright in style, a spice cake of flavors while keeping taut fruit and final acidity. The texture, though, promises good ageing.

Typically Nairac, this is elegant and delicate, with great freshness and acidity. While it is not hugely concentrated, it is beautifully ripe, an aperitif style rather than for dessert.

90-92 Barrel sample. A deliciously fresh, vibrant wine with good ripe fruits, flavors of orange marmalade and a light, citrus kick. Lovely, with just a touch of spice.

This is more on the fresh side, with a bright citric component adding a crisp character to the botrytis richness. The texture is tight, apple and pear skin cutting through the sweetness.

Classic Barsac that goes for delicacy and elegance. The flavors are apples and cream, light honey and a wonderful floral lift. Pure lines, fresh with acidity and lively peach flavors, suggest a wine that will develop quickly but very attractively.
