Even with some tropical notes this winds up feeling pretty lean and austere. Don’t think this had what it takes to age gracefully.

Creamy note, citrusy aromatic, maybe light apple oxyd note, complex but missing some freshness touch

Crisp, acidic, lightly oaked, mouth watering. Ready to enjoy with Coach K and white fish. #bordeauxblanc #wine #duke

Elegant creaminess. A nose of a floral lemon grove, tastes of fruity apple and lemon, with a well-balanced acidity, and a flinty mineral and smooth finish that lasts.

White Pessac Leognan when done right. Probably at its peak now. Despite the 70% sauvignon blanc / 30% sémillon blend, the sémillon seems to take the ascendency here. Right balance of mineral, flower, alcool and fruit with a satisfying length and a tight finish.

Rond, mais trop boisé pour être vraiment apprécié. Le bois prend le dessus sur tous les autres arômes.

Big fan of this bottle! Solid medium body. Peach and honeysuckle; smooth, creamy texture. Can't wait to get my hands on the 2012!
