En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Four (Bordeaux): From Magnum. Medium minus intensity aromas show a little botrytis but this is very fresh and smells more late harvest, a little textured tannins, a little marmalade, apricot, touch of alcohol warmth on the finish.

Medium bodied, bright, crisp, fresh style of sweet wine, with a core of sweet pineapple and apricot, coasted with honey. Sweet, but balanced by racy acidity, with hints of candied orange in the finish, this paired perfectly with grilled nectarines, peaches, figs and hazel nuts.

UCGB tasting Bordeaux 2013 (Amsterdam): 25% Sauvignon Blanc and 75% Semillon. Apricots and white fruits. Nice balance between acidity and sweetness. Very youthful, but a nice and fresh wine. 88+

UGC 2016 (Chicago, IL): Very apple-y and fresh with an impressive litheness on the palate. Brimming with energy and tension, and a lovely almond-inflected finish.

Too sweet/unbalanced for me, with awkard, chemical aromas. Maybe not an ideal sample.
