White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | Bordeaux | 750ml
Pale, well protected against oxidation by Sulphur Dioxide, seems more fluid because of that, but well balanced and lovely aftertaste. Will show better in six months time. Drink 2018-2030.

Fresh, with lots of floral, honey and orange peel notes followed by heather and marzipan and a bright, juicy finish. There's nice freshness in the works, with a very lively, spicy finish.

James Suckling 93-94 Points: Wine Advocate 91-93: The 2010 Chateau Guiraud has fine purity and minerality on the nose, with touches of passion fruit and dried apricot, later quince joining the fray. The palate is very well-balanced with a lively entry of apricot, quince and a touch of hazelnut. The middle and finish demonstrate fine tension and a lot of freshness. Individual lots seemed to have more race than the final sample, and I suspect it will warrant a higher score once the final blend is in bottle.

Gorgeous apricot, ginger, green fig and honey flavors show lots of density, with a sweet, rich finish. A big one in the making.

2010 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $37.99

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | 375ml
James Suckling: 93-94 Points: Already a slightly dark colore. Beautiful concentration. It's rich and very sweet with intense notes of bitter oranges and honey. Superb finish that long and racy with notes of botrytis.
2010 Château Raymond-Lafon - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml)  
2010 Château Raymond-Lafon - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $33.99

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | 375ml
Deep gold. 'Let it warm a little bit because it's at 10 rather than 12 at the moment', say the Dourthe serving team. Lovely excitement on the nose. There is so much botrytis and richness here. Golden syrup and perhaps a tad lack of acidity. Round and gingery and lilies. Maybe very slightly over the top but no-one could accuse this of being too fresh and lean! Wonderful unctuousness - though taken to the limits of ripeness. As I say, I'd like just a little more acidity. Great richness on the nose.
2010 Chateau Sigalas Rabaud - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml)  
2010 Chateau Sigalas Rabaud - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $39.99

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | Bordeaux | 375ml

This has quite a bit of sulphur on the nose at first, but it clears with aeration. It remains tightly-coiled, with lemon, honey, apricot and limestone, demonstrating fine minerality. The palate has great tension on the entry, quite spicy and nutty in style, with a vibrant, zesty finish. This is an exuberant Sigalas-Rabaud with great potential.
