Evoked memories of my grandmother's gooseberry pie, with notes of gooseberry jumping out of the glass and leading the way on the palate. Hints of key lime and sea salt weave in too. Weighty, yet the acidity cuts right through, keeping this lively and fresh. Delicious.

1/6, under DIAM (10). Pale/medium bright straw. Intense nose showing pineapple, grassy notes, some butter and smoke. Medium bodied, this has lovely weight, is very intense with bright, slightly spicy fruit - pineapple to the fore, touch of cream, with vibrant acidity carrying a long, spicy, grassy finish. Bottled under DIAM this should have a long future, but can certainly be approached now.

Should of course have left this in the cellar for another dacde but was impatient, and it already shows its potential. Beautiful bouquet naturally dominated by the 80 % sauvignon with its exotic fruit and grassy elements while the semillon adds spices. Wonderful creamy texture, the alcohol is felt byt well-balanced between the red and green grapefruit notes with pomelo and some white peaches and fine acidity. Long finish and long life ahead. 91+

Really enjoyed this. Peach, apple, a bit of oak. Great acidity and balance. Really good Bordeaux white blend. With a bit of age should be even better. I’ll be adding more.

Briefly, this is really nice rich, complex, and fresh white Bordeaux. Best after maybe 30 minutes air or a quick decant. In line with the notes from Jay A and Jeff Leve. Decent QPR at ~US$36

The purity of lime, soursap and pomelo fruit shines in the beginning. The fruit is concentrated, intense and clean. The wine is energetic and lively. With a good amount of airing, the wine settles down. The fruit is still lovely, but not as pronounced. Secondary flavors of wet stone, mineral and chalk start appearing. This is a lovely expressing of Sauv Blanc/Semillon. The liveliness of the 2019 vintage is fun in its youth and settles into a proper wine as it airs/ages, so it is enjoyable either way.

Green apple, tangerine, lemon chiffon, pomelo, pineapple and floral notes on the nose are made better with all the sweet, ripe, yellow citrus lemon peel, green apple and white peach in the fresh, zesty, yellow citrus, packed finish. Drink from 2022-2035.

93 vvPunkte (70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon, 14%. Verkostet im Dezember 2021 in Windisch) Expressiv, reiffruchtig, parfümiert, Zitrusfrüchte, Honigmelone, ein Hauch Vanillezucker, rosa Grapefruit. Der Gaumen ist kräftig, dennoch elegant, safige Säure puffert die reife Frucht, der Wein hat Druck und zeigt Schmelz, die Struktur ist sehr gut und im Abgang hallt er sehr lange nach, endet salzig und mit zitrischen Rückaromen. Ein ausgezeichneter Weisswein, der vielseitig einsetzbar ist. 2022-2034 vvWine.ch

Floral in nature, this is all made better with all the sweet, ripe, yellow citrus lemon peel, white peach and honeysuckle in the perfume. The silky, round, lush palate with all the vanilla, vivacious green apple, lemon and crushed stone taste and feels great. 93 Pts

UGC 2019 Singapore (Singapore): Good complexity, a touch of cat pee. Again Larrivet Haut Brion with the best QPR among Graves Blanc in my eyes.
