1997 Haut Bergeron - Sauternes Barsac ,
Bordeaux, France
Haut Bergeron - Sauternes: this wine is located next to
d'Yquem (one couldn't dream for a smarter neighbour!). The wine is not classified, but has dramatically improved its quality during the last decade.
The colour is surprisingly dark for such a young wine (to drink a four years old
Sauternes is almost infanticid !). Nice aromatic
nose with exotic scents of lychee,
floral, not very
long. Nice and
fat in mouth, lacks a bit of
acidity. A bit too
ripe. Limited ageing potential
to my view. Drink 2005 - 2010. 84/100.
