The 2004 Clos Haut Peyraguey offers a muted butterscotch and wax resin bouquet that only reluctantly opens up with aeration. The palate is unctuous in the mouth with a fine bead of acidity cutting through the honeyed fruit, although it is not as complex as recent vintages such as the 2007 and 2009. Nevertheless, this is a generous Clos Haut Peyraguey, to wit, a Sauternes wine that goes out to give pleasure and can do without intellectualization. Drink now-2020. Tasted February 2014.
