Sweet, rich and honeyed nose with complex aromas of paraffin, herbs, quite a bit or minerality, very perfumed and exotic; sweet and ripe in the mouth, smooth and fat but with complex flavors; lemon grass, green apples, minerals; wonderful focused acidity; spicy; long balanced finish with honeyed spices; this is a wonderful wine and gives new definition to white Bordeaux. (19/20)

Sweet and ripe nose, quite perfumed and loaded with honeyed fruit, green herbs, paraffin, cookie dough, and lemon peel finish off the complex nose; surprisingly light and citric in the mouth; almost austere; clean and pure but lacking in depth; seems like there should have been more interesting elements to this wine; good finish, but lacking. (15.5/20)

Restrained and austere nose as is often the case with this wine, earth and herbs mixing with minerals and a touch of rubber present a refined but also remote nose; sweet and ripe in the mouth with plenty of fruit on entry; then changing quickly to a more dry and austere fabric with solid acidity; still very young and not prepared to show all of its elements; long, complex, deep finish with strong lemony notes; quite elegant and I think will be more exciting in a few years. (17+/20)
