Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 1997

This 1997 displays gorgeous aromas of coconut, honeyed oranges, tangerines, pineapples, mangoes, and other tropical fruits. The wine is medium to full-bodied and super-rich, but not a blockbuster in the mold of such years as 1990 and 1988. It possesses low acidity (in flavour, but not in terms of analyses) and a long, 40-second finish. This superb, 1997 exhibits considerable botrytis, as well as a thick, unctuously-textured style.
