A little disappointing in that this bottle was not as rich as I hoped/expected it would be. I enjoy (very much) aged white Bordeaux typically because it is rich, almost oxidized, and I thought this bottle would be in in its prime in that regard. The wine was not bad -- balanced still some fruit and the hint of age was there.

Medium dark gold, just shy of having a brown tinge. Palate - WOW- totally smooth, deep and integrated. Hint of caramel on finish. My first mature bordeaux blanc, and glad I still have 2 left from my original case. Drink now and over next 9 months.

In an awkward phase. Lots of nice underlying citrus fruit, but somewhat muted at this stage with slightly bitter finish. Should hit its sweet spot in 6 months to one year. Drink 2013 to 2015.

Unfortunately this was showing its age. I only wish I could have tried it a decade ago when I suspect it could have warranted another 5 points.

One left from case. Sorry I didn't leave these alone after purchasing four years ago.
