Evoked memories of my grandmother's gooseberry pie, with notes of gooseberry jumping out of the glass and leading the way on the palate. Hints of key lime and sea salt weave in too. Weighty, yet the acidity cuts right through, keeping this lively and fresh. Delicious.

1/6, under DIAM (10). Pale/medium bright straw. Intense nose showing pineapple, grassy notes, some butter and smoke. Medium bodied, this has lovely weight, is very intense with bright, slightly spicy fruit - pineapple to the fore, touch of cream, with vibrant acidity carrying a long, spicy, grassy finish. Bottled under DIAM this should have a long future, but can certainly be approached now.

Should of course have left this in the cellar for another dacde but was impatient, and it already shows its potential. Beautiful bouquet naturally dominated by the 80 % sauvignon with its exotic fruit and grassy elements while the semillon adds spices. Wonderful creamy texture, the alcohol is felt byt well-balanced between the red and green grapefruit notes with pomelo and some white peaches and fine acidity. Long finish and long life ahead. 91+

Really enjoyed this. Peach, apple, a bit of oak. Great acidity and balance. Really good Bordeaux white blend. With a bit of age should be even better. I’ll be adding more.

UGC 2019 Singapore (Singapore): Good complexity, a touch of cat pee. Again Larrivet Haut Brion with the best QPR among Graves Blanc in my eyes.
