As per previous note from a year ago, the taste profile is as per before. As with other top notch white Bordeaux, it should not defined by grape type, and they can challenge the top white Burgundys.

An excellent second wine as usual with the estate, the 2008 ticks all the boxes. It has hit its prime drinking window and should stay here for the next few years. Mango and pineapple are prominent lending roundness on the palate but the wine has good acidity and balances well. I find the finish its weakest element with it over dominant with citrus.

Sadly my last bottle, as the wine is just hitting its stride. This wine needed a dozen years before I should have had the first bottle. It now exhibits great complexity. Tropical fruits with lime and lemongrass. The acid refreshes and keeps the fruit from being overwhelming. A beautiful wine.

The other bottles were just too young. Nuanced, complex. Lots of experience fruits with a clean acid backbone
