September 27, 2021 - Beautifuly easy drinking. Lovely pineapple notes on the nose. Glad I was able to enjoy a well taken care of bottle that retained its drink ability 18 years later.

April 11, 2020 - Drank over two days. Better on the second day. Very nice bottle. Attractive aromas. Pineapple and other fruits. Not much if any oxidation. Golden colour. Good waxy texture. I kept sniffing the glass after the wine was all drank. Perhaps not a good sign for me, but a good sign for the wine. 24 hour decant recommended. 90-91 points.

December 11, 2019 - Monthly Tasting Group HWS #144; Bordeaux - Pessac-Léognan (By me): In the bouquet yellow fruits and impressions of nuts. On the palate butter, caramel, honey, oak and nuts. Elegant acidity. Mature, but in fact still a very pleasurable wine.

October 2, 2015 - Another terrific bottle of this, still going strong. I am a sucker for white Bordeaux, I love the savory-saline-marine notes along with the fruit. This one was classic and highly aromatic with vanilla bean, caraway seed, candle wax, celery soda, and fresh tarragon. Well balanced between fruit and acid, there's good weight and a fully resolved structure I would drink now or soon, don't risk this fading or the pox.
