round and nicely chewy tannins and a long finish

This should have a long and positive development in bottle

Deep and beautifully layered

Round and crystalline on the palate

Durkheimer Hochbenn Kabinett Riesling is a rich and sultry wine

Chateau Guiraud, Sauternes, France 2009 375ml Aux Origines round and nicely chewy tanninsThis is a bird of a different feather, with an exotic, vibrant aroma of toasted coconut, followed by an almond cream note that gives way to the core of green fig, papaya, Cavaillon melon and honey. There's stunning richness and mouthfeel, with the power to be one of the longer lived wines of the vintage. Very impressive. 96 Pts Wine Spectator
