This is still a very enjoyable wine if you like aged white Bordeaux, especially from a QPR perspective. I was separated from my storage for 5 years, otherwise I probably wouldn't have any left, but it was a very pleasant surprise. For the first hour or so the nose was pungent, lots of beeswax, and a little worrisome. But the mouthwatering acidity convinced me to give it a chance. An hour later I'm wishing I had a case left rather than 2. Excited to try the 2008 soon!
[PS, I generally don't give point scores or detailed tasting notes - my strawberry is your raspberry and someone else's blackberry - just the story or experience, and whether I'd rather live it again]

Clear light yellow. Fresh stone fruit and lime nose. Dry lemon-lime flavours and a light dry finish.
In very good condition after over a decade in bottle.

A youthful bottle in great shape, likely due to it having a DIAM cork.

Definitely thinning out and not as fruitful as I remembered
