Note di degustazione
The 2006 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is worthy follow-up to the 2005 and just as good. The bouquet is a soaring success, featuring wild honey, quince, saffron, flakes of white chocolate and pineapple chunks – more fun and more engaging than the stately 2005. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely viscous texture, a fine bead of acidity and a very cohesive mandarin and grapefruit finish. This has always been on an upward curve and comes recommended given reasonable market prices. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at home.

Tasted at the Sauternes 2006 ten-year on horizontal in Bordeaux. The 2006 Lafaurie Peyraguey has a complex bouquet: honey, white chocolate, quince and dried pineapple scents that billow from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with marmalade and bitter orange on the entry, a fine line of acidity with a harmonious mandarin and grapefruit finish that carries ample botrytis with it. This appears to have improved over the last couple of years, suggesting an upward trajectory in bottle? Worth checking out. Tasted April 2016.
Coppery colour. Rich, fresh, precise. Neat and satisfying. Great balance. Everything in its place. (JR)
