Wine Enthusiast, February 2014

Dense and opulent, this is a fine, ripe wine. There is great weight here, along with flavors of nutmeg and white peach. Acidity and a firm, youthful texture all promise aging. Drink this wine from 2017. — Roger Voss

The 2010 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a white Sauternes blend from the Bordeaux region of France. This vintage has garnered attention for its rich, concentrated flavors and aromatic complexity. James Suckling, writing for jamessuckling.com, awarded it a score of 94, highlighting its "beautiful concentration" and "intense notes of bitter oranges and honey." Suckling also praised its "superb finish," noting the presence of botrytis, a noble rot that adds complexity and sweetness to Sauternes wines.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, in a review by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, gave this wine a score of 91. Perrotti-Brown described the wine as having a "pale to medium lemon-gold color" and remarked on its "fragrant notes of jasmine, musk perfume, spiced pears, and apple tart." The palate is described as "full-on decadent" with "impressive tension" and a "mineral-laced finish." This review suggests the wine is in a good place now but also has the potential to age well for another 12-14 years.

The Wine Independent's review, also by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, is particularly glowing, awarding the wine a score of 95. She describes it as having a "pale straw-gold color" and needing "some patient swirling" to reveal its youthful notes of "orange blossoms, lemon curd, and grapefruit oil."

Overall, the 2010 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is celebrated for its complexity and depth, with reviewers praising its aromatic notes and long-lasting finish. It is a wine that offers immediate pleasure but also promises further development with additional cellaring.
