Tuesday, May 17, 2022 - 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Pale straw color, clear, youthful, compact rim
Nose screams Bordeaux Blanc typicity with grapefruit, honeycomb, new cedar woods
Palate is layered. Medium body, almost bone dry, medium plus acidity. Lots of citrus fruits, Asian pear, tangerine, pineapple, quite high toned at first but blown away with air. Finish on the honey coated slightly bitter grapefruit notes.
Subdued as it was tasted alongside the mind blowing Henri Giraud Argonne but it did show a lot of Bordeaux Blanc characters. However, at this price point, so many other better option. Drink now. 91 (but 87 for qpr).
