2007 Clos Haut Peyraguey, Sauternes (375ml) (Pre-Arrival)

95 points and an Editors' Choice, Wine Enthusiast: "A beautifully ripe wine, layered with the richest fruit, the acidity offering a bright moment within the richness. Botrytis is there, like a hard core for the pillow of ripe apricots, lychees, spice and fine freshness." (06/10) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Clos Haut Peyraguey 2007 has an expressive nose with notes of clear honey, apricot, fig and a touch of walnut: very well defined and natural. The palate is quite racy and spicy with ginger inflecting the mandarin, pear, marmalade and apricot fruit. It displays superb weight and persistency towards the finish with just a faint tang of ginger lingering on the aftertaste. Excellent. Drink now-2025." (04/10) 91-95 points Wine Spectator: "Impressive finish on this wine, which shows a spicy, sweet-and-sour, tropical fruit character on both nose and palate. Full-bodied, thick and racy. Lots going on." (Web '08) 90-93 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Pale yellow-gold. Tight nose suggests orange, lime and oatmeal. Juicy, spicy and penetrating, with a very intense flavor of peach. Finishes long and powerfully aromatic." (Jul/Aug '08)
