The 2007 Nairac Sauternes 750 ml is from the Barsac region of France.
The 2007 Chateau Nairac is a little pinched on the nose, which is surprising considering the growing season. There are pure honey, guava and quince scents wanting to spring forth, but it does not quite happen and I suspect a couple of hours decanting would awaken those aromas. The palate is well-balanced with pointed acidity. There is plenty of fresh citrus fruit here interwoven with orange rind and a touch of barley sugar that lend it real Barsac rather than Sauternes personality. As I suggested, decant the 2007 so that it loses those inhibitions. Drink 2016-2035. Tasted March 2014. - eRobertParker.com, NM (6/2014)
Intense aromas of lemon meringue pie and honey lead to a full body, with dried citrus fruit and a spicy finish. There's an almost aniseed undertone to this on the very sweet palate. Best after 2011. — JS (03/2010)
Full, deep yellow. Sexy aromas of exotic orange oil, candied lemon peel and mirabelle Then fat and unctuous but juicy in the mouth, with strong acidity giving penetration and clarity to the intense fruit flavors. Not an especially powerful style but creamy, dense, bright and very long.- Stephen Tanzer (7/28)
