  The power of a story grows with every retelling (Restaurant Story, London): It’s been a long time old friend and so happy to spot it so well priced on the list of the beautiful Restaurant Story, London.
  Punchy and young still, more fruity and in a way juicy than expected and maybe a result of the vintage. Some of that flinty minerality is there but the fruit, stone fruits and with a round feel. For sure in its proper drinking window and with a lot of life ahead. Very solid 92-93.

  Opened in Courchevel. P&P and enjoyed over an evening conversation.
  
  Unfortunately, I feel like we didn't have ideal conditions for enjoying this wine: it was probably slight infanticide, we didn't chill it enough, and certainly it could have benefited from some air. But I guess it just wasn't that kind of night.
  
  Very solid wine, but not up to the standard of other Daguneaus that I've tasted, including the 2018 Silex. There's no rush though, and having had great experiences with other vintages of Pur Sang I'm certain to revisit this and I'm sure there is upside.

  Softer, less mineral and more waxy than the Silex. Orchard fruit, citrus, flint, hay and some mustiness. It’s smooth but still tightly wind and holding back. Stylistically reminded me of Cotat. My preference leans to spend a few more dollars and get Silex.

  Pale straw colour
  
  Very Fine, but intense, highly complex nose of grapefruit , camomile , lemon zest , flint stone, wet slate , acacia
  
  Tightly wound, very complex on the palate, with a zing acidic and salty streak. phantastic package of grapefruit and gooseberry, with a mineral wet stone backbone coated by elderflower and acacia.
  Very long, intense aftertaste
  
  A beautiful and unique expression of Sauvignon Blanc, at the beginning of its drinking window. Highly recommended
