1997 Chateau Raymond-Lafon, Sauternes


Golden. Nose has aromas of honey, apricots and oranges. It is very sweet, rich and oily in the mouth, with flavors of oranges and honey, moderate acid, and a long sweet finish. This is a good, young Sauternes, but I am a little worried about the acid for long term aging. Perhaps it just has so much big, fat fruit now that the acid is not showing. My rating 89.
