  Blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon
  
  Medium plus golden, amber color. Clear and transparent.
  
  Nose of nectarine, pineapple, apricot, manuka honey, and dare I say a touch of botrytis-infected berries?
  
  Medium to medium plus body, medium acidity, dry. The palate is round and juicy. Wide array of fruit profile such as tangerine, peach, Asian pear, framed by waxy, honeycomb like undertones. Finish shows finesse and prolonged satisfaction of papaya, jack fruit, and palm fruit.
  
  Superb quintessential Bordeaux blanc. Full of characters, depth of flavors, and complexity of aromas. This wine has arrived at its prime drinking window. No reason to wait any more. Enjoy. 91.

  Dry, a touch lifeless on first glance wet wood, oily back palate. Some thickness. Good palate structure and this drives the points. (BKK Tasting 'Rigth vs Left')
