The 2009 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is medium gold in color. It comes barreling out of the glass with powerful notes of crème brulée, quince paste, apricot preserves, and fresh ginger, followed by touches of saffron, lemon butter, and Marcona almonds. The palate is super-sweet, concentrated, and decadent, with plenty of refreshing acidity to counterbalance and an epically long, honey-nut finish.

The pale to medium gold colored 2009 Lafaurie-Peyraguey features candied citrus and dried tropical fruits with crème brûlée and chamomile notes with a waft of honey. The palate is fresh, youthful and zippy, finishing with loads of tropical layers.

This powerful, rich wine is densely packed with sweetness and citrus flavors. Honey and lemon notes combine with a dry core of botrytis, offering intensity and a complex sweet-and-sour finish.
