  At 10 years of age, this is really coming on strong. The wine is fresh, stony, citrusy and delivers a ripe, sweet, crisp, citrus filled finish. Sweet and fresh, with good energy, this is really quite strong today. I am not sure if it gets better, but it's just great today, so why wait?.

  Served the wine at 8°C, but this was too cold.
  Wine was quite sharp and acidic at this temperature.
  Became better after warming up.
  
  Hints of citrus, limestone and buxus in the nose
  Citric acids, grapefruit, passion fruit and that greasiness of the Semillon in the mouth.

  Great but too young! Needs an additional 3 to 5 years

  This is intense and quite impressive Bordeaux blanc. Will it improve with time? Don't know, but tucking away a few.
