90-93 Points | International Wine Cellar , May 2010

Medium yellow-gold. Reticent but pure aromas of apricot, ginger, honey, marzipan and vanilla gain in force with aeration. Plump on the palate, but with a firm core of acidity and strong spice character giving definition and verve to the ripe peach, honeyed botrytis and spicy marzipan flavors. This will need time to harmonize, but already displays very good underlying structure and sweetness, and finishes with a lingering white pepper note. A fairly typical Fargues, falling somewhere between the overt fruitiness of Barsac and the opulence of Yquem
