A great Lafaurie Peyraguey has a deep oily richness and a fat full texture to go with the intense sweetness. Monumental size, fantastic from the word go, but this will last for decades. L&S (Mar 2005)

The 2001 Lafaurie-Peyraguey, which just predates Silvio Denz’s ownership, has an attractive nose of dried honey, praline and walnut, displaying good intensity though not amazingly complex. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening, fine acidity and a touch of orange peel and spicebox toward the finish. Elegant and refined, but it needs a little more length. Drinking range: 2021 - 2038 Rating: 91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Sept 2021)
This superb, light to medium gold/green-hued Sauternes is a full-bodied, opulent, enormously endowed, moderately sweet offering with plenty of pineapple, peach, caramel, and smoky new oak characteristics. With great viscosity as well as richness, and good underlying acidity providing vibrancy and definition, it should be at its peak between 2008-2030 Rating: 96 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com
Pale yellow-gold. Orange peel, quince, honey and sexy oak tones of vanilla and spice. Chewy and powerful in the mouth, with highly concentrated flavours of creme caramel, honey and exotic spices. Finishes very long, honeyed and powerful, not to mention flamboyantly aromatic. Rating: 93 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
