(Les Av. - à l'aveugle) Rien au nez! beaucoup d'acidité en bouche, des amers, tout cela est un peu agressif, mias toujours peu expressif en bouche. me rappelle les 2007 qui etaient aussi tendus et ténus. Pas mon style.

Pop and poured. Drank over a few hours at B&B PP & home. Appearance is clear, medium itensity, yellow gold colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of sweet glue/petroleum, stony minerality, pineapple, apricot. Developed. On the palate, dry, very high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium+ body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe citrus lemon peel, apricots, ripe orange peach, pineapple, stony minerality, honey. Long finish. Very good quality. Intense concentration and gastric ulcer-inducing high acidity. This screams for food. This is not a wine for a relaxed drink, though objectively a very good wine. Will last for another 4-5 years but at peak drinking already. I don't think this acidity is gonna be tamed by time.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #109; Vertical of 10 vintages Mas de Daumas Blanc plus some other whites. (By DJ): Beautiful bouquet with soft yellow fruits, apricots and some mint. On the palate in the start a lot of citrus (lemon), some flowers and candy stick. Then in fact all the tart fruits you can think of. Lemon peel in the finish. For me personally the acidity in this wine is a bit overdone, but I can imagine that some will appreciate it. Good concentration.

Bit over the hill, with fruit fading, but still has bright acidity. It is past its peak so drink soon!

Lovely sharp acidity but backed up by citrus, lemon and grapefruit, light honey, touch of lanolin. Very lively. Great food wine, still living well.
