WineSaint
Three and a half decades have only enhanced this legendary Sauternes. Wild honey, crème brûlée and candied figs emerge with mesmerizing intensity, the bouquet more opulent than its celebrated '89 sibling. The palate shows remarkable vibrancy for its age, with layers of botrytized fruit wrapped in elegant sweetness. Time has brought refinement to what was once a more powerful expression, yet the wine continues to evolve beautifully.
