Tasting Notes

Tasted blind. Pale gold colour. Full of sweet cereals, saffron and dried peach on the nose. The palate is succulent and fruity and spicy with ginger. Slightly warming in alcohol but a fine effort that finishes with strong notes of candied citrus peel. (TP)

Thomas Parker MW, JancisRobinson.com, October 2021

The 2017 Raymond-Lafon has a nose of musk perfume, truffles and wet pebbles over a core of applesauce and spiced pears. The palate is full, rich and earthy with bags of depth and a very long finish.
