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.

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.

Bright gold. Not as open and fruity on the nose as some. Some blue cheese on the nose! Lots of glossy sweetness on the palate and then rather dry on the end. Finish is a bit hot. (JR)

The 2010 Lafaurie-Peyraguey was the only recent vintage served at the property after the flight of pre-war bottles. This shows better than the example tasted in 2014, principally because it has lost some of its reserve on the nose and instead offers enticing honeysuckle, quince, orange blossom and peach skin scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is well balanced, still with that tang of lemongrass on the entry. There is good weight and botrytis concentration, maybe a little more viscosity than I remember, and a pure, caressing finish that conveys energy and precision. This is turning into a beautiful Lafaurie-Peyraguey. Tasted at the Lafaurie-Peyraguey retrospective at the château.
