Wow! Beautiful gold colour, not very deep. Dried mandarin, honey, high acidity, very high sweetness, enormous finish. Great fruit/nut complexity - can keep for many many years!

Having recently been to the Decanter Fine Wine Tasting in London, I was feeling quite inspired about trying some white dry Bordeaux. Unfortunately this one was a little disappointing and has dampened my enthusiasm somewhat. This wine has the classic white Bordeaux nose with peaches and cream livened with honey but it was lacking concentration and depth, a certain je ne sais quois. Perhaps it lacks a bit of va va voom!

RJ nakedish offline (Rotisserie Jules, South Kensington, London): Blind: Pale gold. Someone says boiled lemon sweets which seems to get the nose. Fading/closing a little as it warms up. This popular though not my thing. Guess Chenin from the Loire?

Pleasant, clean sauv blanc, but lacking a bit of oomph - and I was expecting more in the way of oak to lift it.
