Sauternes, Dourthe Freres 2002 - Medical Association Dinner - 27/10/05



Golden Baked Mango Spring Roll, Coconut and
Pineapple Tart & Lemongrass Gelato

Wine - Sauternes, Dourthe Freres 2002
Country: France
Alcohol: 13.5%
It is clear, medium lemon colored, with watery colorless rim. It has quite a few legs. It has a clean & medium youthful nose. Abundant fruit on the nose, rich lychee, lemon, riped apples, with a whiff of nut. It is sweet, medium-high in acidity. It is a medium-bodied wine with pronounced intensity. On palate it gives the same flavours as the nose. It has a medium alcohol level & has a long length. The quality is good & it is ready to drink, but could age.
