"A now fully mature nose of lemon-lime and white flower aromas lead to rich and muscular flavors that possess excellent depth and punch. For all its size and power, it remains symmetrical and solidly balanced by the ripe supporting acidity and the length is absolutely show stopping. This is a reference standard Bâtard that is drinking perfectly and happily, I have had no run-ins with premature oxidation with this particular '99 Sauzet though I have with some of the other wines in the range. For my taste, this has arrived at its full maturity though it should be capable of holding here for at least another decade." Burghound.com, May 30, 2008 |
