"This vintage has a complex bouquet with honey, marmalade and quince aromas that are beautifully defined , but will clearly take a few years to reach their full potential. The palate is very sensual on the entry, honeyed and lavish at the beginning, but retaining beautiful wonderful precision and persistence on the lightly spiced finish. This is a seriously good de Fargues that should age effortlessly over the next 30-40 years. This is one for the serious Sauternes-lovers who know that good things come to this that wait." 96-98 points - Wine Advocate, Neil Martin (28 April 2016)
I have tasted this spectacular vintage at a tasting with Comte Lur Saluces at the Fortress of Chateau de Fargues over a curated Indian dinner. If you are NOT a fan of sweet wine, try this sweet gem from 8 to 12 degrees in a white Burgundy glass. It will change your mind.
