June 30, 2023 - Blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc
Visually, the wine shows intense amber color. Clear and transparent with some crystalized sediments.
On the nose, it shows complex aromas of honey, honeycomb, coconut, fragrant Thai golden yellow mango (Mangifera Indica L.), smoke, and cinnamon bark.
Palate is multidimensional. Medium plus acidity, medium plus residual sugar. Both creates a great tension that makes the wine lively. The palate expresses ripe pineapple, jack fruit, toasted almond, hazelnut, chinese tea, marzipan. Finish is long and satisfying with some lime squeezed honey.
Another amazing bottle pulled from the cellar of Legrand filles et fils. This bottle will continue to develop but it clearly approaches its drinking windows. Sauternes and Barsac are such underrated appellations. Drink now - 2039 easily. 92+230 views
