Chateau Raymond Lafon, Sauternes 2009, 0,75 l
An 80/20 blend of semillon and sauvignon; 13.8% alcohol; 138 g/l residual sugar; pH 3.94; 50% new oak) Rather pale yellow-gold. Very intense aromas of orange blossom, lemon curd and tangerine zest are complicated by a pretty floral nuance and show strong, clean, pure botrytis character. Enters dense, sweet and honeyed, with noteworthy depth and precision to its flavors of fresh citrus fruit, apricot and saffron. Though quite sweet, the wine's sound acidity gives it impressive clarity, and the smooth, viscous finish goes on for minutes. 93pts WS, 93pts R.Parker
