Light gold colour. No sign of premature oxidation. A pleasant wine but somewhat lacking in complexity. Medium concentration, well balanced. Certainly not overripe. I am going to drink any remaining bottles this year, I don’t see any upside to keeping further.

Decanted and sampled as we cooked. The first hour offered up little to be desired, everything was muted, and what was available was extremely backwards, and almost petrol.
Some time after about an hour, it started to become more expressive. White flowers began to emerge from the glass albeit still rather passively. crisp apple, pear, apricot, cut grass, kissed with floral. Oaking finishes the taste with toasty notes with a vanilla refinement.
Acids are noticeable yet not overwhelming. excellent length and stay on the palate.
Overall 89-90 +potential. Not blown away, and for the price, certainly not impressed. It's a clean, and enjoyable oaked white burg that just falls short of the cut.

Needed about 30 minutes to open. Drinking really well right now. Excellent drink. I would not wait much longer.

Aromes plutot florals. Pointes d'abricot et vanille.
Bien ficelé!
