This has improved well since I last tasted it in 2022. Oak is totally integrated and this has picked up a bit more body. Lots of grapefruit, lemon curd, citrus blossoms, a bit of vanilla and mint that are all rounded out with candle wax and a stony minerality. Not sure how long this would improve for but it’s in a great spot now.

Pale-mid gold. Nose of lanolin, lemon and stone fruits. Medium weight. Fine length and streak of acidity. A little too sharp initially but benefitting hugely from a short decant.

Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 represents a very good wine.
Decent entry level white Bordeaux, but nothing to write home about. I prefer my white Bdx with a few more years on it, even entry level. Not quite rich enough for me at this time. Could change in a few years.

No formal notes. Very good, rich and flavorful but not overdone.
