Urea, pee, lime zest nose. A bit funky/stinking but pretty charged with minerals and grassiness. Tart on the palate with pleasant crisp grapefruit and gooseberry fruits. Excellent.

Les Blancs de Pessac-Léognan @ my place (Netherlands): Woody tannines, which need time to soften and integrate. To young to evaluate. But a good structure and backbone is certainly present. Not sure about the aromatics though. It seems a tad lean and simple. 16/20

Not extremely expressive in the bouquet, but there are some flowers and a some citrus and a small dose of oak. In the mouth there is a lot of citrus which continues in the finish. Lacks body on the mid palate. Not really a bad wine, but not as great as expected.

Harmonischer Wein, Säure, dezentes Holz, cremig gute, sehr mineralische Struktur. Hat viel Spass gemacht, gutes PLV, da kann man nicht meckern.

As previous note. Fresh citrus. Hidden oak. Ok wine, but still too young. I scored it one point higher than at the beginning of the year.
