Tasted blind with tasting group. My 2nd place, group 4th. Dark gold, honey, rich. Different style than other wines in the flight. More viscous. Peaches and apricots. Notable Botrytis. Tad aldehydic.

Very interesting. I would not have guessed a Sauvignon Blanc.

GL tasting Pape Clement 10/18/17. 3 vintages each. Unusual whites. 1k cases per year. Really floral and fragrant nose all around the three wines. Forty percent semillion plus Sauvignon Gris and.... Tropical and white flowers notes and acidic and minerals on palate and long biting finish. Interesting. 2010 with oxidative notes and vegetative hints but palate is nicely balanced and with minerals and richness due to oak aging and complex mellow finish. 2005 very complex and less floral nose but good body and balanced palette and good finish. 9.1 for the two older. '10 good for aging.

2014 vintage
В аромате хрустящая желтая груша, клевер, луговые травы, заварной лимонный крем. Во вкусе их развивают желтый грейпфрут, чуть вяжущая белая черешня, легчайшая минеральность. Многообещающие объем и структура, хорошая естественность.
