This is a wine you drink at Rusty Pelican in Miami at 11AM for brunch while watching Jeff Bezos's yacht gingerly sail by, you could smash these bottle after bottle all day long, so good. Still a little early, needs time in the bottle, got a bunch of salted popcorn still, probably a sign of the 50% new oak, but the mouthfeel is absolutely incredible, jumping but also a full mouth coating begging you to come back for more. I like this better than same vintage Ygrec. Snag some if you can

An incredibly complex, complete and textured wine. It is difficult to know at which point through the life I prefer Bordeaux Whites, but even at this stage it is more than accessible and enjoyable.
Explosive aromas of ripe white nectarines, asian pear, topical notes, fresh white florals, fennel, lemon balm oil, vanilla and a little baking spice. The palate is so wonderfully layered, expressive and vibrant with notes of ripe orchard fruit, gooseberry, citrus peel, wet mineraltiy and florals. The mid-palate is alive yet with a wonderful texture and precision, the finish has mineral and saline nature, is long and lingers for what seems forever.

Medium yellow. Nose of peach, Asian pear, with a hint of cream and oak. Its good freshness and a little sweetness make a perfectly balanced palate. Creamy aftertaste with stone fruits, dried pineapple, and mango provide a good ending. Approachable now.

2019 Bordeaux Tasting, MW tasting (Vintner's Hall, London): 90% SB 5% Sem 5% Sauv Gris, 14.50%
A bit different than the other whites tasted before, more lime/lemon, tropical fruit notes, sweet vanilla notes, nutty, walnut, walnut liqueur, very oaky at this point.
Palate is rounder, frutier, light even, but sill under buckets of oak, full palate, again tropical notes, citrus peel, some oxidative notes even, long finish
