September 22, 2022 - Note from memory. I just love white Graves. These wines are so generous and opulent though never heavy. Classic notes of honey, citrus, bruised yellow apples, floral with medium acidity and a long finish. Everyone loved it and it was drank in a second.

September 16, 2018 - Drank at Blanco WH dinner. Golden yellow color. Somewhat reticent nose of citrus, honey and some floral notes. Somewhat full-bodied and on the unctuous side. Good acidity, some fruit (citrus) and a definite nuttiness. Much more energetic than I expected, and overall a very lovely wine still drinking well (some thought it lacked sufficient fruit). I like this wine (also, I wasn't aware it was primarily SB grape).
