Heady scents of rosewater show the soft, feminine side of this wine. Right in the middle, it rides a firm track through the mouth, but in the end, it breathes that sweetness again, turning misty, complex and exotic, finishing soft.

Tasted single blind against its peers. This is another Sauternes that is evolving beautifully in bottle. Initially it is rather closed on the nose with touches of lemon curd, apple-blossom and fresh pears. The palate is well-balanced with good acidity, and it is imbued with a femininity and poise. Though it is tighter compared to its peers at the moment, it is sure to give immense pleasure down the line. Could this be as great as the 1986 mdash; or even greater? Tasted January 2011.

Honey, dried pineapple, apricot and tropical fruit on the nose. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a spice, dried fruit and honey aftertaste. Balanced and pretty. Best after 2012.

In der Nase zeigt dieser Sauternes Noten nach Orangenmarmelade und Zitrusfrüchten. Der Körper ist voll und die Struktur ist komplex. Die Säure ist gut balanciert und der Abgang ist aromatisch und anhaltend.

Deep golden yellow in color. Tons of botrytis with notes of peach, apple, and pear. Lots of lemon on the mid-palate this beauty fleshes out substantially towards the finish. Good acidity, but not as much as other samples. Alex Lallos. A Sauternes Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2007 Lafaurie-Peyraguey 375ml

Winemaker's Notes:

"The 2007 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has fulfilled all my expectations since its impressive primeur showing. It is has a light, succinct nose with white peach, pear, apple-blossom and a touch of chalk dust. Good definition, although it needs a little more vitality. The palate is superb: very vibrant on the entry, marmalade, quince, mandarin and a touch of ginger, just a little disjointed towards the finish, good length. Time in bottle will allow this to coalesce...93" WA 04/10 "Full medium gold. Deep, rich aromas and flavors of apricot, honey, nougat and marzipan. Thick but not at all heavy, with a piquant orange peel note and ripe, harmonious acidity giving shape to this fat, full, palate-saturating wine. Quite zesty for young Lafaurie, finishing with a strong impression of spicy energy. A strong performance for this estate...93" IWC 08/10
