97 points, given a 'Highly Recommended' designation, and ranked #4 on the Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2008: "Delivers lots of botrytis spice, with lemon tart and cooked apple. Full-bodied, with loads of cream and vanilla and an intense tropical fruit and honey aftertaste. Long and viscous, with a layered and beautiful spicy finish. Hard not to drink it now. Best after 2014." (04/06) 95 points and #35 on the Wine Enthusiast's list of the Top 100 Wines of 2008: "Typical of the huge power of Guiraud, this is one of the riches Sauternes in 2005. The wine is rich and intense, the dry edge of botrytis just dominating the sweetness. Flavors of honey, almonds and peaches give the wine extra complexity." 92(+?) points Stephen Tanzer: 'Full golden-yellow. Orange oil, clove, ginger, mint and minerals on the perfumed, vibrant noise. Superrich but juicy and vibrant, with an exotic hint to the fresh apricot and peach flavors. This boasts an exhilarating sugar/acid balance and finishes with terrific life and grip." (Jul/Aug 08) K&L's Barrel Tasting notes - Nice entry. Good richness. In balance. Very nice. *1/2 (Clyde Beffa, K&L Bordeaux buyer)
