‘Very deep golden, with great tension and excitement and some green streaks, with layers of botrytis over them. Full and deep with intense botrytis. Great stuff! Unspittable, dried apricots (though so much richer than a Tokaji) and great acidity. Date tasted 1st April 2010. 2017-2032.’ – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 19/20
‘The 2009 Raymond-Lafon has a bouquet that is entering full maturity with honeysuckle, quince and light waxy aromas. There's good intensity here, perhaps more than the 2010 at the moment. The palate is vibrant on the entry with plenty of botrytised fruit and a keen line of acidity, spicier than the 2010 with a harmonious, marmalade- and quince-infused finish. Almost Tokaji-like, this is a superb Sauternes. 2025-2045’ - Neal Martin, Vinous, 94/100
‘Pale gold colored, the 2009 Raymond-Lafon gives compelling marmalade, honey nut, pineapple upside down cake and burnt sugar notes with wafts of petrol and paraffin wax. Opulent with savory undertones, the palate delivers loads of citrus fruit sparks among the richness, with a racy backbone and long, fruity finish. While showing some evolution, this still has plenty of cellaring potential. 2019-20344’ - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, 93/100
