Tasting notes
With a beautiful, gold hue, the nose serves up earth, fresh herbs, citrus rind and pears. Luscious in texture, with energy and depth, the wine is sweet, fresh and still delivering fresh citrus fruits, along with the additional, secondary complexities. The wine is quite long in the finish.

(15.5% alcohol; harvested in three passes through the vines) Very pale color. Pungent, complex nose offers candied lemon peel, white peach, a note of honey and piquant mineral lift. Extremely powerful on the palate, with flavors of white peach and minerals and a chewy impression of extract. Boasts incredible volume and explosive fruit but today I am aware of the wine's high alcohol. Perhaps most impressive on the extraordinarily tactile finish: this struck me as one of the longest wines of any color or type that I tasted on my spring Bordeaux tour.
Very pale straw. Luscious, sweet nose. Sleek, greenish notes but lovely depth too. Fine and delicate but also rich on the palate. 15.5% but not at all evident. Very cool yet rich. Total acidity (**?sulphuric) 4g/l, pH 3.35. Not at all heavy or oily. Good whole. Racy, powdery and so clean and racy! Great stuff!!! Strict selection. (JR)
