Served blind. A golden colour and a fresh nose but a seriously deep and complex palate. I assumed Chardonnay, but with air this really becomes quite tropical, showing lots of pineapple, albeit always maintaining its searing acidity. For me, definitely worth serving chilled. I much preferred this cold than closer to room temperature. From SJW

Quite incredible really. Served blind, but I thought this was young, exceptionally good New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc! Haha. I guessed the grape but miles wrong on the region. This was just so fresh. Upon serving this had so much tropical fruit. Lots of pineapple and passion fruit. Yet it was nicely acidic and not overly sweet. Great balance. A lovely wine. From SJW

Cd5 A l’aveugle le nez m’évoque tout de suite Dagueneau mais en bouche sa finale flat déçoit, on se dit qu’il lui faut du temps pour que « ça vienne » (mémoire de nov 2015). Mais là, il semble tout de même moins en forme que précédemment, il a le souffle un peu court, même si au bout d’une heure, il retrouvait un peu de tension -mais pas autant qu’il y a 3 ans- 91/92

An intriguing sweet and our flavour profile a bit reminiscent of a jurancon. Very flamboyant and complex but not something to drink more than a couple of glasses of.
