Tasted blind. Deep amber. Subtle vegy botrytis notes with a hint of coconut. Molten creaminess of texture. Quite sophisticated. (JR)

Tasted blind at the Sauternes 2011 horizontal tasting. The Château Raymond-Lafon 2011 is very backward on the nose with muted scents of wax resin, undergrowth, dried honey and a slight petrol note that lends it a Germanic personality. The palate is viscous on the entry with thickly layered honeyed fruit. It does not quite have the panache of sophistication of its peers and it feels just a little earnest on the finish, but I suspect that bottle age will bestow great complexity.
Lots of almond and spice, oily spice. A hint of roast chicken. Massively rich, powerful and intense, Beautifully balanced between intense sweetness and zesty freshness. (JH)
