Commanderie dinner. Not oxidative but very advanced since my last tasting. Apple pie. The other bottles were better, but still quite evolved since I had it last time. Drink up.

Light gold yellow. This wine is a nice surprise. The nose jumps out of the glass with Sauvignon Blanc typicity of grass, lemon but also paired with a distinctively smoky touch and some yellow fruit. Almost a bit too much crowd pleasing but very nice. The palate is fresh but also creamy. Very nice showing and shows that Bordeaux may have to produce more dry whites if they struggle to sell their Sauternes. Dessert wines is unfortunately a very small niche of all wines consumed. Mature, drink now and over the next few years.

I LOVE it!! I’m glad I have one more bottle. I truly wish I had more. Pungent aroma of melon, with a tangerine undertone and sweet spices. On the palate are peach, pear, honeydew with hints of cinnamon. Gives me hints of French toast. Smooth and citrusy finish. Very smooth texture. Should be drunk this year.

Pineapple, grass, and white flowers on the nose, maybe a bit of melon. Tropical flavors with nice richness on the palate- a touch of white pepper and a mineral finish. Tropical, floral, and bright - delightful. Paired nicely with pan seared pork chop, roasted brussels with peaches and a mac and cheese sprinkled with blue cheese.
