Opened with Arturo and Claudia's first visit. Intended it for appetizers and first course but the 1995 Lafite pre-empted it. Beautiful pairing with tomato bisque but everyone went for the vino tinto (1989 La Tour Haut Brion with the main). Sigh. Freshness, acid. Will continue to improve with cellaring.

Vin difficile a cerner. Bu sur trois jours. Le premier, le nez etait fantastique, mais la bouche était assez muete.Un nez de sauternes, mais sec. Fruits exotique, mandarines, miel, fleurs. Le troisieme, cest mieux balance. Mandarines, fleur blanches, silex. Un style trop floral pour moi... se placera peut etre dans le temps

Had with Pettuses and Luces. Paired with tomato bisque then salmon. Lovely, but austere. Needs another 3-5 years in the cellar.

Deep straw; subtle tropical hints, restrained aromatics; dry, good extract, phenolic, 'big'; persistent. Drink now & next 5 years
