Doisy Daëne 2005 (375ml) (En-Primeur 2008 delivery)
Sauternes. The nose has that lovely fruit acidity of a great German Riesling Auslese. The wine is very complex and fresh; length and real class without great weight but so much finesse that this could almost be five stars. This is the sort of wine...

Gruaud-Larose 2005 (En-Primeur 2008 delivery)
