WEINWISSER: "Dichtes, frisches, aromatisches Bukett mit Grapfruit, Aprikosen. Voller, dichter, samtener, ausgewogener Gaumen mit voller Süsse, feiner Säure, seh guter Aromatik. Sehr langer, voller Abgang. 19/20 2015 - 2050"

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is powerful and racy with lots of class. Full body, very sweet with lots of spicy botrytis character. Intense. Drink or hold."

WINE SPECTATOR: "There´s beautiful ripe fruit in this, with pineapple, mango and papaya and hints of vanilla and honey. Full-bodied and medium sweet. Rich and round, with loads of cooked apple, citrus peel and spices. Long and flavorful. Dense and rich. Best after 2012. 6,250 cases made."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2005 Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey offer apricot, fig jam and touch of almond on the focused bouquet, grilled walnut coming through later. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, quite structured and almost austere in comparison with other vintages. There is good tension here, vibrant and citric with impressive mineralité towards the finish. This has great potential."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Tasted blind. Mid copper. Very sweet start. Flattering and rich. Clean and direct. Dense."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Lacking the depth and concentration found in the best vintages of Lafaurie Peyraguey, the wine focuses on its apricot, floral, honey, spice, vanilla and orange marmelade perfume. Soft, sweet and ready, this finish serves up sweet, bright, tropical fruits with orange honey in the end notes."
