Chateau Guiraud, Premier Cru Sauternes 1996

Deep copper/gold.

Deep, roasted botrytis/marmalade nose. Caramel/custard nuance.

Thick, sweet, roasted botrytis flavors, with poached pear and caramel undertones. At this point I lose any basis for evaluation, as I'm hardly a white dessert, let alone a Sauternes, expert... This is quite deeply flavored, though not particularly precise. Huge, roasted botrytis, length. I think I could get used to a bottle of this a night.
