Château de Fieuzal Pessac-Léognan Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 1994

Elizabeth

Dough and savory on the nose and palate. Rich and candied honey, dough and acidity. Caramelised pear.

Gordon Walker

Oxidized nutty honey sherry character, still has some nice phenolics and pleasant acid

Andrew Cullimore

Quite a deep old gold, light honey colour slightly hazy. Intact and interesting on the nose , lanolin and candle wax , touches of roast almonds and bruised apple. On the palate quite intense and with lemon pith , orange peel , bruised apple and candle wax . There is a lightly sherried character noticeable after a short while that gets more noticeable with time . Good acidity and weight , creamy mouthfeel . Quite reasonable length. This obviously should be drunk now (probably should have been drunk a decade ago too) won’t improve and only will become more sherried with more time . Commendable and a nice surprise but drink quickly once open ! This bottle just one of the weird but wonderful choices available from T Wright Wines in Bolton (uk) , a real gem of a shop that I throughly recommend.
