Parker about Château Guiraud 2001
The Guiraud 2001 here did not quite deliver as it had done at the vertical tasting a couple of years previously. However, it still boasts an attractive, quite forward orange peel, lanolin and apricot-scented bouquet that is certainly well defined. Like before, just give it a few swirls and that peachy nose unfurls. The palate is well balanced but I find it here just a little pinched on the entry. The finish is linear but full of citrus fruit and bitter orange to savor. I was just expecting more persistence but otherwise this is very fine.

Château Guiraud 2001
The Château Guiraud 2001 is an exceptional Sauternes that impressively embodies the quality of a legendary vintage. Shimmering in a bright, intense gold, this wine exudes a seductive bouquet of dried apricots, ripe mango, honey, and a hint of vanilla, further enhanced by delicate floral notes and spicy accents.
On the palate, the 2001 Château Guiraud displays impressive depth and balance: The dense sweetness is perfectly complemented by a lively, fresh acidity. Sumptuous notes of tropical fruits, candied citrus, and honey blend harmoniously with hints of caramel and roasted almonds. The finish is long and refined, leaving a lingering sweetness accompanied by a subtle minerality.
The Château Guiraud 2001 possesses a magnificent structure and enormous aging potential, making it an ideal companion for special occasions. It pairs perfectly with foie gras, blue cheese, or fine desserts. A world-class Sauternes that masterfully balances opulence and freshness.
