Delicious, but not for everyone perhaps. 70/30 SB and Sem barrel-aged, with some oxidative notes or lees, nice acidity, then citrus on the palate and guava. Medium fruit driven with barrel age aromas. Not hugely complex, but enough, and good on its own and would be nice with food too. WS 90, I would support that but not more. Drink now. Higher price, but not bad for a barrel-aged second label from Bordeaux from a good estate. Want to try the 09 and the first label white.

Traditional blend of Semillon and Sauv Blanc. Honeysuckle on the nose. On the palate, lush roundness with light apricot, concentrated floral, and a hint of grapefruit/citrus.

Quite fresh with some lovely citrus and green fruit coming through on the palate.

4/16/2011 - sgv Does not like this wine:
Light, no complexity, short. Pretty if light nose, some minerality, and a little lemony. Nothing else. Does not justify the price. 1/5 stars.
