Wine Enthusiast
Big, concentrated botrytis flavors, layering the honey with the rich dried fruits. This is a powerhouse of a wine, densely structured.
Barrel Sample: 94-96 Points -
James Suckling
Already a slightly dark colore. Beautiful concentration. It’s rich and very sweet with intense notes of bitter oranges and honey. Superb finish that long and racy with notes of botrytis.
Barrel Sample: 93-94 Points -
Wine Spectator
A bright, engaging style, with unctuous, high-toned pineapple, white peach, candied citrus peel and green almond notes, lined with a lightly toasted coconut edge on the finish. Pure. Best from 2014 through 2028.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pale to medium lemon-gold color, the 2010 Lafaurie-Peyraguey dishes up fragrant notes of jasmine, musk perfume, spiced pears and apple tart with nuances of honeycomb and praline plus a waft of chalk dust. The full-on decadent palate possesses impressive tension with loads of spicy sparks and a mineral-laced finish. Lookin' good right now and should cellar a further 12-14 years.
