Note di degustazione
The 2007 Nairac has a fresh nose (at least the second bottle!) with quince, saffron and touches of peach skin. The palate is quite elegant and poised with ample botrytis. Good tension from start to finish, this is a fine Barsac that should offer another 15-20 years' drinking pleasure. Tasted at the 2007 horizontal in Sauternes.

The 2007 Chateau Nairac is a little pinched on the nose, which is surprising considering the growing season. There are pure honey, guava and quince scents wanting to spring forth, but it does not quite happen and I suspect a couple of hours decanting would awaken those aromas. The palate is well-balanced with pointed acidity. There is plenty of fresh citrus fruit here interwoven with orange rind and a touch of barley sugar that lend it real Barsac rather than Sauternes personality. As I suggested, decant the 2007 so that it loses those inhibitions. Drink 2016-2035. Tasted March 2014.
Very big and heavy. A little simple but they have certainly got the weight even if not the complexity Chewy on the end. (JR)
