Superbe bottle! High level , middle golden color. Very complex and expressive nose of rich fruits, honey, spices. Dense, long and well balance mouth, slightly acidic finish provides the freshness to support fruit expression. Very pleasant aged, matured grand white wine from Leognan area. This is definitely a great terroir for white wines.

12/9/03 at home. Really incredibly brilliant. Nose a bit shy, but impressive on the palate. Delicate and pretty, creamy, with good lenqth. 5-10-15-6-86/100. H says 84.

Darker yellow-brown; heavier legs Heavy oak smell, smokey, papery, a little vanilla; Fruity wood, bark of cherry, cut flowers stems, butterscotch; wet straw. Not as acidic. More smooth, round. Lingers on palate a long time, unlike Sancerre. Can still smell bouquet next day! (woody) Much better than the 99 I tasted in Seattle.

Wish I would have opened this sooner, but still quite good, and definitely drinkable.

Solbærduft? Utviklet, men blir trolig enda bedre med tiden.

Quite a full, evolved straw colour; intense, lots of spicy oak, good weight of fruit, wonderfully exciting acidity; lovely length, hint of caramel.

Pale colour, good nose, zesty sauvignon. Good acidity and flavour of sauv, rounding out to quite mellow with the semillon. Good
