Clos Haut-Peyraguey 2012

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. The 2012 Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey has a lifted bouquet of honeysuckle and peach, with just a hint of chlorine underneath that ebbs away and is replaced by lemon curd. The palate is viscous on the entry with light honeyed fruit, white peach and marmalade, gently building towards the easy-going, slightly smudged finish that gently caresses the mouth. This is a respectable Sauternes for 2012 and a fine Clos Haut-Peyraguey to enjoy over the next dozen years or so.
