  Full, powerful, rich nose. Nettles, maturing cheese and oak.
  Lovely, fullish palate with maturing notes of honey, fat, oak and nettles. Harmonious with freshness still around. Good length. Lacks some layers of complexity. Can be kept 2-3 years more.

  Bright, fresh, crisp lemon, grapefruit, floral, orange and honeyed notes are all over the place. The finish is packed with fresh, sweet, citrus and green apple flavors.

  Färg: halmgul.
  Näsa: citron, citronskal och med tiden lite persika.
  Mun: citron, citronskal, och med tiden lite rostade fat och mineraler. Sista timmen mer sötma med gul exotisk frukt.
  Ett mycket balanserat, men friskt och elegant vin som man inte tröttnar på.
  80 % sauvignon blanc och 20 % semillon.
  Till en fiskgryta med tomater, lök, vitlök, buljong, vitt vin (samma som i glaset), saffran och torsk. Till det vitlökspotatismos.

  Terroir-istes International - France, Bordeaux, Pessac-Leognan Blanc, Part 1 (Rodwell House): Light straw-yellow colour, the perfumed aromas are aniseed, buchu, mint, marjoram, white chocolate and toasty oak.
  A powerful yet attractive entry, the wine is bold and ripe with lots of fleshy fruit set against a lively crunchy acidity. Lots of citrus with tangerine, blood grapefruit, breakfast punch, minerals and dry rocks are all supported by well-managed oak that shows spice and vanilla pod.
  Good depth of flavour (but expected more), the wine is expressive with a nice mineral edge to a more medium to long finish.
