2005 Château de Fargues, Sauternes
An exquisitely beautiful sauternes that is clearly at the very highest level of sweet wines of the 2005 vintage. Was for many years under the same ownership as d'Yquem, which has been sold by the Lur Saluces family quite recently. A stunning tropical aroma is an entrée to a beautiful streamlined palate. Glorious composure here. Sweet yes but not cloying, with wave upon wave of high class exotic flavours.
