Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey 2017 [halvflaska]

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

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.

Andreas Larsson - Tasted

Bright light golden colour. Lovely intensity with layers of candied citrus, grape, ripe yellow fruit, floral notes, saffron, earl grey, fine oak and some pastry notes. The palate is dense and powerful with fine balance between sweetness and freshness, flavours of baked apricot, confit de citron followed by a very long, pure finish.

VertdeVin

The nose is fruity, fresh, elegant, beautifully racy and offers a racy minerality. It reveals notes of lemon, yuzu zests and small notes of quince associated with fine touches of crunchy white fruits, very fine hints of flowers (peach flowers, white flowers…) as well as a discreet hint of white tea and flint. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, beautiful racy, a fine unctuosity, precision, a fine grain as well as gourmandize. On the palate this wine expresses notes of candied lemon, candied peach and small notes of lemon associated with touches of zests, crunchy pineapple as well as fine hints of flowers (peach flowers, white flowers…), white tea, honey as well as discreet hints of spices. There is a very discreet hint of almond in the persistence. A beautiful wine!

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Sweet honeyed tropical fruit, vanilla and honeysuckle with a touch of candied citrus peel invites you get into the wine a little deeper. The acidity is there to liven up all the honeyed tropical fruits.
