DE FARGUES (SAUTERNES) 2006 750ML

94 to 96 pts. Robert Parker The refuge of the Lur Saluces family after selling their beloved Yquem, this is an Yquemlike wine that sells for a fraction of the price fetched for the most famous wine of the region. Rich, honeyed citrus along with creme brulee, vanillin, sweet caramelized pineapple and citrus notes are followed by a wine with an unctuously thick, viscous, full bodied mouthfeel, but with good enough acidity to balance out the wines enormous weight, richness, and concentration. This should be a 30+ year wine.
