Chateau de Fargues, Sauternes, France 1998 375ml Mount Eden Vineyards rich and relatively full-bodied flavorsAt first, powerful and incredibly elegant. Indeed, the wine is so rich and smooth that it is almost syrupy. It offers complex and tasty aromas of citrus, exotic fruits and broom, but also toast and sweet spices. A great sweet wine cut for aging.
