Just watched this episode and then checked if you can get de Doisy here in Sweden. well Yes you can if you hurru. There are 4 halfbottles left and they cost 22 bones each. How do I know that. Well we have a state monopoly (Systembolaget) and they have an online database.

Nice show. BTW Château Cos d’Estournel 2005 goes for 235 bones and there are 32 bottles available. You can only buy them in stores, not online

Haven’t had a chance to try a Doisy-Vedrines, which, btw, is technically a Barsac, not a Sautern.

But I have had 2003 Riussac and 2003 Lafaurie-Peyraguey, both grand, with the Riussac having the better acidity.

Wow. Big times wines there Gary. Im lucky enough to have a bottle of the 05 Estrounel stashed away, and now that you had to throw that 1G number at me, Im not so sure Im going to drink it! Sell sell sell! ….nah, ill probably pop it some day. Wouldnt mind trying to grab that sauternes as well. I already own 3 05’s so I hope they rock it as well. QOTD: Ive had two in restaurants, but I cant remember their names. Both rocked. One 1998 Piere d’ Arche I bought at the store but I think it was corked when I tasted it. I dont know for sure but it was just off.

If I can pull together the bones I may hunt a bottle of the Estournel. QOTD: I did have one, I cant remember the name but it rocked. I kept thinking of creme brulee while I was drinking it.

Fantastic Gary

QOTD: favourite Sauternes?? I’ve drunk quite a few, but of particular note. Too be honest nothing compares with De Bortoli Noble One from Australia … (especially for value for money).

Cheers

I’ve tasted one Sauternes and found it luscious. Will try more in the future, I’m sure!
