  Stony nose with a bit of lime. Tastes of sweet Meyer lemons and barely ripe pineapple. Soft, supple texture. Decent acid and would be a fantastic wine were it not for the 13% alcohol. Noticeable. Dry finish.

  APPEARANCE: clear; pale lemon; medium legs & tears
  NOSE: clean; medium intensity; citrus fruits (lemon, lime), stone fruits (peach), pear, oak present
  PALATE:dry, high acidity; medium body; medium+ alcohol; medium+ finish; medium+ flavor intensity; flavors: as per nose, also lemon grass, oak more present than nose
  READINESS FOR DRINKING: Can drink now but has potential for further aging
  FURTHER REMARKS: a strong fresh white Pessac, but a bit heavy on the Oak, will possibly integrate over time.

  2010 Bordeaux UGC Chicago (The Drake Hotel, Chicago IL): Nose: There is a nice freshness to the nose with tones of pears, citrus, white fruits, and a real nice mineral streak as well.
  
  Taste: Light bodied with crisp medium/high acidity. The acidity is more in the refreshing side along with tones of pears, minerals, and white fruits.
  
  Overall: This is a very refreshing Bordeaux blanc. It's open to drink right now an is very enjoyable.
