CdB Committee Meeting: Light gold plus color. Drank a glass over 90 minutes. Peach pit, apricot, lychee, tart unripe mango, parafin, spicy, really shows that shellac character on the back end which gives it that sharpness on the back end. Showing some alcohol too. Have one more to compare at some point.

From 375ml… This is outstanding. Spices, cured lemon, vanilla bean, linseed oil and incense. Dry and slightly oxidative in style, there’s great intensity from acids and dry extract combined with an oily unctuousness that is the perfect foil to the brightness and energy. Definitely a style that harkens more towards a Rioja blanco than anything in France, but still it is somehow different/fresher than an address like Lopez de Heredia. Whatever the profile, I think this is magnifico. 93-94 pts.

Bordeaux Wimps June 2023 - 1945 (La Trompette): Had been very much looking forward to this - an in condition bottle of Domaine de Chevalier blanc is a real treat. At first smell - of not poxed, then very definitely oxed. Fell apart in the glass. Shame shame shame - if dry white bordeaux could just fix its pox problem it would bring so much joy to the world.

Another premox'd bottle of this wine. 2 of 2 - so far. Extremely disappointing.
