Trinity Wine Fair: Quite reductive in the nose, less so in the palate, very rich citrus, more lemony in the palate, has nice texture, refreshing, medium finish. Needs time

While I didn't expect Haut Brion, I was surprised that the style was so different. This one is forceful and flavorful in a green apple and grassy way, some even immediately detecting the telltale cat's pee note. Medium body, assertive and really quite good - if you like this style of Sauvignon Blanc.

Notes of fresh grapefruit, butter and marmalade on the nose leads to a twist of citrus peel and a honeysuckle splash on the palate. Ready yourself for a burst of creamy lemon curd in the finish. The wine was produced from a blend of 58% Semillon and 42% Sauvignon Blanc. 91 Pts

La Mission Haut Brion with Jean-Philippe Delmas (Vaucluse Townhouse, New York): Lots of salinity. Easy drinking. Fresh and fragrant

Brighter, fresher and less grassy than a previous bottle, this one was stylish and interesting. I hoped for more intensity, though.
