"Revealing a deeper gold hue, the 100% Semillon 2023 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a ripe, decadent bouquet of caramelized pineapple, honeyed mint, spice, and candied orange. It's a rich, powerful, full-bodied monster of a Sauternes offering terrific sweetness, bright, integrated acidity, and a great finish. Count me impressed. It's another heavenly sweet wine in the vintage." — Jeb Dunnuck
"A dense and very intense Sauternes with spiced pear, apple and orange peel. Caramel and spice with some brown sugar. Full and deep. Very sweet. Flavorful finish. Shows depth and intensity. 160 g/L residual sugar. Reminds me of 2003." — James Suckling
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
