Enticing sauvignon blanc-dominated aromas of kiwi, passion fruit and green fig complicated by dried apricot and orange jam. Fresh, dense and very sweet, with extremely persistent flavors of tangerine, ripe apricot, saffron and peach nectar. Finishes very bright and long. This wine sports one of the highest residual sugar levels of the vintage yet it comes across as less sweet than the numbers would suggest thanks to its very high total acidity. Another outstanding wine for Nairac, which insiders know to be the single best buy in Sauternes today. The last few years have seen one great Nairac after another.In BondSG$317.00 -

The 2012 Nairac has a peachy nose with Golden Delicious, honeysuckle and pear scents, fine definition though it needs a little more focus. The palate is well balanced with quite a tangy entry, good weight, waxy in texture with stem ginger and light lemongrass notes on the finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.In BondSG$237.00 -
Vinous - Ian D'Agata (91-94)
Medium yellow-gold. Complex, deep nose reveals pineapple, caramelized ginger and honeyed minerals. Then easygoing, bright and fresh, with flavors of citrus fruits, green papaya and orange zest nicely framed by lively acidity. Features sneaky concentration and a very long aftertaste.In BondSG$256.00
