Cherry and blackberry aromas rise to the front with lingering tones of smoke

This is a wine of finesse

it should be an enjoyable white Bordeaux to drink over the next 10-12 years

but retain their vibrancy

concentrated yet impressively refined wine with plenty of inner mouth perfume as well as an abundance of palate coating old vine sap that serves to cushion the still quite firm tannic spine on the strikingly persistent finish

Fresh picked berries and bramble on the nose become focused and spiced on the palate. Nice herbal and earth notes with rocky minerality across the full length of the palate. The open fruit expression of the nose creates the expectation of a bigger wine to follow but it is classical with good restraint and an impressive sense of precision in the mouth. Beautifully done.
