  Blend of Sauvignon Blanc (70%) and Semillon (30%). Dark golden color. Beautiful aromas of pear, white flowers, sweet spices and freshly baked shortbread. Lively palate of unripe peach, lemon, apple, minerals and salted caramel. Medium-plus body and beautifully balanced. Creamy texture and a long and luxurious finish.

  12/31/2023 - BottleScholar Likes this wine:

  Lemon oil, Meyer lemon peel, vanilla custard, warm baking spice, light fresh-cut oak, wet stone, and just enough of a woody herb note to add interest. Medium-deep lemon, almost gold color. Pronounced aromatic and flavor intensity. M+/H acid, rounded. M/M+ finish. M+ body with light beeswax texture. Oak fermentation and aging (below) is prominent though well-integrated, and possibly just a little bit of tannin is imparted from the oak. Very good, and outstanding if just a touch more complexity and/or longer finish. 72% Sauvignon Blanc, 28% Sémillon. "Alcoholic fermentation at 16.5° in barrels (50% new and 50% used once previously)." Maturation: "100% of the production in French oak barrels with mild toast (50% new and 50% used once previously). Over fine lees, with stirring, during 8 months."

  Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (The Landmark, London): struck match, slightly meaty, muted fruit on the nose, reductive on the palate. Meh.

  88-90 vvPunkte Kräftiges Gelb. Die Nase erinnert an Toast, reifen Apfel und etwas Hopfen, eine nussige Note schwing mit. Im Gaumen cremig, mit saftiger Frucht, einer gute Säurestruktur, wirkt lebhaft und feingliedrig, durchaus elegant, baut aus und hat im Abgang eine eindrückliche Länge. Muss sich noch finden, könnte zulegen mit dem Ausbau. 2023-2030 (April/Mai 2021)
