2001 Chateau Bastor-Lamontagne, Sauternes


Light golden yellow. Nose had lemon and orange aromas. Sweet orange and apricot fruit, moderate acid, and a long sweet, fruity finish. A medium weight young Sauterne. I paid about $20 for a half bottle. My rating 84.

Is the 1996 still available anywhere? If so, how could I get some?

Thanks a lot! If you put the 1996 after the wine desciption, nothing comes up as to where it's available. Thanks for the info; I'm on a search and destroy mission to obtain a case! Happy drinking to all!

If you are interested in wine making then you need to do a little homework before you get started. Wine making is not

something that you can just plunge into and learn along the way, you need to do some research so that you know that you

are not missing any vital wine making steps or processes. If you do miss these wine making your wine could very well turn

out tasting like anything but wine.

Wine making is a something fun that you can do in your spare time and at the end you will have a glorious result. Wine

making is something that people tend to get hooked on because the very first batch is not usually perfect, it may taste

delicious but it will not be perfect. As you learn about wine making and as you get the wine making experience behind you

your wine will get better and better. You will undoubtedly pick up tips and tricks to help you improve your wine making

capabilities.
