  This gets a Lower score this time because the wine has barnyard funk on the nose. Like a cow farted in the area around u. Still drinking well Good structure for the price I think the funk will blow off after getting some air. On da palate it’s soft flavored an mineral driven in my opinion. Fruit doesn’t really show up but it’s there. Mouth watering as far as acidity goes an seems like there’s some tannic structure on my mid palate. Are this with Indian food (spicy ) this time. It went better with seafood last time I tasted this wine. Last time I decanted the wine. I think that’s why it smelled diff and taste better. Guna decant the next one

  Definitely surprised me. I thought this wine would be an underperformer. Low n behold I was shocked. Went excellent with seafood. This gets 2 thumbs up for price an deliverance.

  Pure, cool, and lemon fruited. Plenty of freshness and purity with a slightly saline finish. Brilliant foursquare Pessac which I understand was about EUR12 a bottle.

  Although festooned with a Médaille d'Or from a Wine Challenge, I liked this less than some previous vintages. Drunk over two evenings. On the first it was quite agreeably citrus and refreshing with some minerals but a bit bland and somewhat disfigured for me by more vanilla notes from its élevage than I like. On the second evening it seemed to have taken on a bit more weight and complexity and was less bland though the vanilla was still poking through. May benefit from an extra year or so. Quite good.

  Bright, crisp, fresh, sweet, crunchy, yellow citrus with floral and white peach accents. This will be great on release. Though it will be best in its youth for all of its vibrant citrus characteristics.
