Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)Yellow-gold color. Aromas of mirabelle, creme brulee, honey and spices, along with a faint fusel nuance. Dense, unctuous, powerful and complex; superripe and concentrated but with excellent acidity contributing structure and shape. Very long and sweetly oaky on the back end. This struck me as like a more powerful, gripping version of the '98. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (95)The 2018 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is one of the classiest wines of the vintage. Effusive floral overtones give the 2018 its lifted, gracious personality. Lemon confit, yellow flowers, mint, pineapple and passionfruit are all laced together in a mid-weight, beautifully persistent Sauternes that hits all the right notes. The 2018 is just sublime. That's all there is to it. |

Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (98)Enjoyable, plenty of pep and character, with satiny, precisely spliced texture to the apricot, nectarine and pineapple fruits. As it opens in the glass, waves of white truffle and ginger, with a zing of mandarin zest, become clear. An impressive Sauternes with decades ahead of it. |

The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin that exert a gentle grip, a masculine Saint Estephe that is harmonious and focused, the finish testifying that just the right amount of oak was employed.
