Community Tasting Note

• SWHighlander Likes this wine: 90 points

  February 3, 2024 - Pale yellow. Didn't notice the usual green hints for this vintage that others have had, visually. Good but not as good as other Bordeaux Blancs I've had from other vintages. 2020 was hot and the acidity is just not as bracing as some other years while the alcohol is a bit more it seems (even though Carbonnieux always show the same 13% ABV on the label every year). Less aromatic than I'd expect. Flavors of lemon, white grapefruit, some subtle white flower and tomato leaf. Medium plus body. Enjoyable but I wouldn't buy more from this year. Drink now.
  
  Paired pretty well with a baked filo cup of wild mushrooms.
