  Very Sauvignon Blanc on the nose, with green (pyrazine) aromas. Also some ripe apples and blackcurrant bush. Full bodied and quite oily in the mouth.

  (MJMA) Lukt: smør, nektar, aprikos, søtlig lukt som bærer preg av honning.
  Smak: modne frukter i samme gate som lukten (nektar, aprikos), deretter litt gule epler uten mye syrlighet

  BYO Litteraturhuset (Litteraturhuset i Oslo): Lys strågul. Typiske sauvignon blanc-toner med modne stikkelsbær og solbærblader. Intens og presis duft og tydeligere enn jeg hadde trodd gitt at denne er 21 år gammel. Etter litt tid i glasset dukker toner av smørmalt og vanilje opp. Rikt anslag med god konsentrasjon, veldig fin mineralitet. Sitrustoner i retning grapefrukt og lime på smak. Stram og ren og med rik syrestruktur. Imponerende ungdommelig alderen tatt i betraktning! Flott match til sesongens første hvite asparges

  Loads of green Sauvignon Blanc aromas mixed with loads of oak. But the result is good. Very aromatic, generous, rich and concentrated. More impressive than complex, though.

  I have had so many negative experiences with old white wines from Bdx that it is crossed fingers I open every bottle. And then how nice it is to find a bottle in pristine condition! Verging on golden yellow, but also with green tones at the rim. Full bodied nose with tons of apricot fruit complemented by orange, grapefruit, and a clear mineral tone in the vein of slate and petroleum. A tone of black olives emerges after a while in the glass. Full bodied, sweet apricot fruit at first, then a woody dryness with a clear olive stone bitterness. The finish is dry and fresh, dominated by olive tones and a fine bitterness. A wine for food, maybe a bit heavily oaked, but impressive given the age. A proof of the longevity of good white Bdx.
