1998 | Château de Fargues | Sauternes (375ml) Azienda Agricola Vignai da Duline dark spice and initially funkyPale to medium gold in color, the 1998 de Fargues simply sings of honeyed apricots, lemon curd and orange marmalade with touches of fungi, candle wax and candied ginger. The palate gives wonderful balance and depth, with very rich fruit and a racy line giving way to a long, layered finish. Yum 94 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
