Tasting Notes

There is some SO2 masking the nose here, which is difficult to assess. However, the palate is well balanced with fine minerality, bright citrus fruit, orange zest, a touch of white peach and apricot, good tension towards the finish with a dash of lemongrass on the aftertaste. There is very good weight and botrytis on this Lafaurie Peyraguey that linger seductively.

Score: 92 - 94

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 27 April 2010

Slightly more golden-like colour than others, but keeping green undertones, absolutely glorious from the beginning to the end, great future! (18 points)

Score: 18

Decanter, Decanter.com 01 April 2010

Focused and very clean, with apple pie and crème brûlée aromas. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a fruity finish. A little one-dimensional.

Score: 90 - 93

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 31 March 2010

Quite deep gold. Looks very fat. Not very much nose, and sheer weight is its strong point. A bit chewy. This should give pleasure but it's not one of the most subtle. Raw pear juice. Bit of a boxer. Though with good acidity. 17+ points

Score: 17
