  Opened this wine at Peach Garden, Thomson Plaza with 2 colleagues.
  
  Straw pale yellow in colour with notes of minerals and a stony nose filled with white fruits. Freshness is fading but the wine is slowly developing secondary notes. Some apples, pear and minerals were evident on the palate.
  
  A good wine but it needs serious food to bring out the best in the wine.

  What a nice CdP Blanc for the price. It's obviously nowhere near the level of some other bottlings, but at a fraction of the cost of many others, it delivers quite well, and probably better value than most. There's loads of ripe, even a little baked, orchard fruit, with red apple and ripe pear really sticking out, as well as paraffin and chalk, a touch of toasty oak, a bit of starfruit, and all kinds of spices. The texture is great, with medium+ body and a kind of oily feel, along with just enough acid (medium) to keep it fresh. There is the tiniest hint of alcohol presence for those who are particularly sensitive, but it doesn't bother me. Overall, nice balance, concentration, and length, with decent complexity make this a very good wine that is great for the price.
