Note di degustazione
The 2011 Nairac has a clean, quite pure bouquet that needs just a little more vigour and complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine balance, well judged acidity, very pure and lightly spiced with stem ginger towards the harmonious finish. Give it a couple more years to see of that bouquet will open. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted blind. Deep amber. More VA than most. Quite aggressive level of acidity even though there is lots of sweetness too. Not really resolved in terms of texture; pretty jagged. Still quite chewy. (JR)
Tasted blind at the Sauternes 2011 horizontal tasting. Refulgent in colour, the nose on the Château Nairac 2011 offers straightforward dried honey and quince notes, but it seems to lack a little energy compared to the bottle served at the property last year. The palate is viscous on the entry with a fine line of acidity, touches of honeycomb and peach infusing the honeyed fruit, the viscous finish compensating for the lack of aromatic charm. Fortunately, with time in the glass, this Nairac does appear to coalesce and gain weight, yet the nose never meliorates sufficiently to match the palate.
