2004 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey
Community Tasting Note

91 Points
Tuesday, February 4, 2014 - Opened by John at the Peking Duck House offline in NY. 1st time I have had the 2004. A pale yellow color and lighter than the 2003 which we drank next to it. More tropical than the 2003 with notes of orange marmalade and some concrete dust. Not sure that last taste belongs in a Sauternes but it added some interest. Good botrytis. 91-92 points.
