19 RENÈ GABRIEL´S BX TOTAL: "Mineralisches, frisches, duftiges, kräftiges Bouquet, Grapefruit, Minze, gekochte Birnen, Honig, frisches Mandelgebäck. Gut opulenter, voller, kräftiger Gaumen mit dichter, cremiger Struktur, frischer, feiner Säure, sehr guter Süsse, kräftiger, vielfältiger Aromatik, sehr langer, frischer, eleganter Abgang mit sehr guten Rückaromen. 19/20 2022 - 2050"
92 WINESPECTATOR: "Packs in a range of tropical and orchard fruits, with mango and papaya notes flirting with quince, yellow apple and creamed peach details. Delivers singed brioche and almond cream accents on the finish, which sports a youthfully raw edge. Should be very solid when it settles in. Best from 2016 through 2030. 2,245 cases made. –JM"
93-94 JAMES SUCKLING: "A dense and rich Sauternes with nutmeg, dried mushroom, sweet apples and honey. Full, very sweet and long. Very concentrated."
93+ ANTONIO GALLONI: "Bright golden yellow. Deep, brooding nose opens with aeration to offer enticing aromas of quince, passion fruit, honeyed peach and smoky botrytis. Dense, rich and suave, with oaky notes still dominating the creamy orange jam, mineral and spice flavors. Finishes with excellent length. This ripe, smooth Sauternes conveys an impression of austerity due to its bright harmonious acidity (6.5 g/l) and moderate 130 g/l residual sugar. Still very young wine and in need of patience to develop fully, but I really like its penetrating, almost riesling-like personality."
93 THE WINEADVOCATE: "The impressive Lafaurie Peyraguey has a light but well-defined, almond-scented nose with a satisfactory level of botrytis. With aeration, hints of pineapple begin to emerge with aromas of vanilla and white peach. The palate is medium-bodied with a very composed, very pure entry and a keen thread of acidity. It shows admirable weight and botrytization, with a gorgeous spicy finish that has impressive persistency. Drink 2015-2035."
