Chateau Nairac 2023

Decanter: "A superb second growth, with peach, pear and citrus freshness. The layered palate combines opulence with plenty of zing to keep you on your toes, and ends with bright fruit, ginger, and a hint of Cayenne pepper on the long finish. Ageing in 30% new oak will broaden the palate even more but the high acidity ensures a long life (along with the 150 grams of residual sugar per litre). Tasted twice with similar results."

James Suckling: "A baby Barsac with a solid core of fruit, medium sweetness and notes of tart tartin, caramel and candied lemon. Some chocolate. Hints of spice that suggest solid botrytis. 100% semillon."
