The 2015 Château de Myrat offers yellow plum, apricot jam and marmalade aromas on a generous and powerful nose. The palate is well balanced with a honeyed texture. This is a mouth-filling Sauternes that is just missing tension and requisite acidity on the finish, hence my score. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.Inc.

The 2017 de Pez is a pleasant Saint-Estèphe to drink now and over the next handful of years. Élevage (12 months in 30% new oak) has brought out a level of finesse the 2017 did not show from barrel. At the same time, while the 2017 has gained in elegance it has also lost some of the richness it showed en primeur. The 2017 is floral, gracious and medium in body, with tobacco and cedar as well as sweet red berry fruit and floral notes that add brightness on the subtle, silky finish. The 2017 is very nicely done, but I find it a bit light in structure; this is a wine to drink on the young side.Inc. GSTSG$602.73 -

The 2018 Château de Pez was shut when I tasted it from cask with winemaker Nicolas Glumineau, so much so that I felt it was inappropriate to score it because I felt there was a great wine lurking behind that door. And so it turned out. Now in bottle, this has a gorgeous bouquet of lifted blackberry, graphite and flinty aromas, razor-sharp in terms of delineation. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine-grained tannins and a subtle marine influence that becomes more prominent with aeration. The oak is wonderfully integrated and the focus very finished. This is one of the best Château de Pez that I have tasted, but it clearly needed to wait until it was in bottle to show its potential.Inc. GSTSG$676.72 -

Pale medium yellow-gold. Reticent aromas of stone fruits,orange zest and menthol. Very sweet but at the same time brisk and penetrating, with pure, intense fruit flavors oforange, tangerine and pineapple lifted by a floral component.

Tasted blind at the 10-Year On Tasting in Sauternes. The 2005 Château de Rayne-Vigneau has a waxy, dried pineapple, honey and petrol-tinged bouquet that gains vigor in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant with plenty of botrytis: very harmonious with honeyed fruit laced with dried orange peel, quince and ginger. This builds extremely well in the mouth and fans out in glorious fashion on the finish. This is an excellent Sauternes that should give 20 or 30 years of pleasure.Inc. GSTSG$124.16 -

This feels very pure and full of tension, conveying wonderful energy on the honeyed finish with blood orange on the aftertaste. Superb.Inc. GSTSG$802.74 -

The 2016 Château de Rayne-Vigneau has been one of my favourite vintages of recent years. Quince, saffron, orange pith and traces of white chocolate develop on the nose with just a touch of petrol. The palate is medium-bodied with pure apricot, mango and orange pith notes, building confidently towards the intense finish. All set for a great Sauternes here. Tasted at the Rayne-Vigneau vertical at the property.In BondSG$699.00 -

The 2017 Rayne-Vigneau has been on a roll of late and this latest release has bags of potential. It has a well-defined, quite intense bouquet with perfumed yellow plum and acacia honey aromas wafting from the glass. The palate is very fresh on the entry with crisp acidity. This feels very pure and full of tension, conveying wonderful energy on the honeyed finish with blood orange on the aftertaste. Superb.In BondSG$683.00 -

Showing beautifully from barrel and now from bottle, the 2019 Château De Reignac Grand Vin De Reignac reveals a dense purple/ruby hue as well as a classy, incredibly impressive bouquet of black currants, smoked tobacco, damp earth, graphite, and lead pencil. Tasting like a top Médoc, it's medium to full-bodied, has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. If you want a wine to shock your friends with in a blind tasting (or you just want a brilliant wine to drink), don't miss this beauty – it's worth a case purchase. It will keep for 10-15 years. It's the finest vintage I've tasted, and I might be conservative with the score.In BondSG$196.00 -
