Tasting notes
Tasted blind. Pale gold colour. Quite finessed, lightly honeyed but full of saffron spice. Some almost floral tones. Compact and vibrant, there is a fresh immediacy here that should make for lovely early drinking. Perhaps not profound but distinctly enjoyable. (TP)

The 2017 Clos Haut-Peyraguey is fabulously rich and dense, not to mention every bit as impressive as it was en primeur. Creamy, nuanced, powerful, sumptuous, the 2017 possesses tons of nuance and sheer depth. Lemon confit, baked pineapple, mint, honey, chamomile and apricot are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop in the glass. The balance of unctuousness and freshness is beguiling.
The 2017 Clos Haut-Peyraguey offers up aromas of key lime pie, candied orange peel and pineapple upside-down cake with hints of peach blossoms and gingerbread. It has loads of layers on the satin-textured palate with bold freshness and a long, spicy finish.
