Ex-chateau bottle tasted blind in Sauternes. The Clos Haut Peyraguey '03 is a respectable Sauternes for the vintage. It has a simple bouquet of quince and lime flower that is atypically light and not precocious for the vintage. There are hints of caramel that emerge with time. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity. It is harmonious and pure with good levels of botrytis on the finish, with delightful dried mango, quince and marmalade notes lingering in the mouth. Very fine. Drink now-2024
Honey gold. Big and bold on the nose. Slight putty note on the nose. So sweet it's almost oily. Very, very rich and no shortage of acidity, but not THAT intense in the middle - a bit like those Pomerols with a hole in the middle. A little neutral on the finish.
