August 8, 2020 - Very pure and aromatic, although complexity is not shown, yet.... Far from its best drinking window.

April 19, 2020 - Sadly no formal note but this was very enjoyable. Soft on the palate and fresh green grass on the nose.

May 15, 2015 - Lemon lime, floral and mineral scents pair perfectly with fat, concentrated, fresh, lively layers of rich, lush, ripe, dense, sweet fruits, flowers and crushed stone. This is incredibly long, complex and vibrant.

May 17, 2013 - En primeur tasting of the 2012 vintage at Château Haut-Brion (Château Haut-Brion): The nose is slightly smoky, with gooseberry, yellow apple, wax, some honey, a hint of mint, some white flowers and other aromatic notes. Full-bodied on the palate, with yellow apple, citrus, some white peach, oily texture, straw, some honey, some mint, spice, medium+ acidity, and a long aftertaste. (93-95)?
A heavier style than La Mission Blanc.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 25, 2013 - Honey, beeswax, Midori sour, lemon wax, flowers, spice and fresh Meyer lemons create a complex perfume. Full-bodied, rich and intense, the wine is incredibly, fresh, lively and mouth filling, finishing with serious intensity of flavors. 95-97 Pts
