Golden yellow in colour. Hardly any SB character on the nose, lots of tropical fruit, lime, a touch herbal, cold cream, slightly oxidative. Good freshness, quite aromatic, creamy, bright and slightly mineral, well balanced, medium finish. Well made, Viognier adds a lot of richness and flesh. Very ambitious price tag. 88-90

Pale straw colour. Grassy nose, a bit floral which is I suppose explained by the 7% viognier. Lemon and grassy notes with a waxy finish. Quite delicate, bordering on thin, but interesting as a comparison to the Bordeaux white style. Very well balanced.

EWS Best of Bolgheri (blind tasting) (New York Vintners): Nice herbal nose;
Great balance of creamy viscosity and grapefruit back bone with pleasurable tail of sweet oak, melon.
