The first positive about this wine is that the nose could only be left bank Bordeaux and you could pick it out 100/100 times if tasted blind. The wine leans toward classic and is not thick by any stretch, but that is great if you're enjoying with food. This was decanted for 3+ hours and only then started to open up so avoid taking this to a restaurant. Great acidity, nice fruit, a bit lean (by modern vintage standards), and decently long finish. This could get quite interesting in 5-10 years but really solid an enjoyable now with air. No rush on this classical wine.

Amazing stuff that crushes many much more expensive white burgs. An interesting slightly savory note emerges on the finish. Plenty of zesty flavors in this one with a nice long finish. Drink or hold.

solid but plenty of better Pouilly Fuisse wines for lower price. It may need a few more years to improve
