Default A few Sauternes questions


I pulled this from the Wine Spectator. Hope it helps.

Winery: Chteau Climens
Wine: Barsac 1983
Sco 95
Cellar Selection
Price: $50
Country: France

Region: Sauternes

Issue: Jan 31, 1988

Add to Wine List

Beautifully crafted, plump, very long and complex. Medium gold, lush
and si lky, with lemon, fig, apricot, pear, and a particularly elegant
balance of acidity, fruit and wood. Power and finesse in the same package.
Drink now through 2000.
