New York bids adieu to Sharon Bowman (Dougherty's): This isn't doing it for me. I'm never been much of a white Bordeaux fan precisely because of what's going on here. Too much oak and I'm not partial to Semillon unless it's seen botrytis. The wine shows a certain elegance to it with a nice mineral and grapefruit character, but there's just too much oak here for me to fully enjoy as well as an unpleasant vinyl note. Still, it's not without some pleasure. B-.
