Tasting notes

Yellow colour. The nose shows wax and flowers. A bit shy yet, but creeping in are more and more exotic notes of spices, gooseberry and tropical fruits. Medium bodied Bordeaux in the mouth. Quite elegant style. Oak is integrated by now, yet the fruit is still a little subded and closed. Showing wax, flowers, minerality and a touch of these tropical elements. Fine acidity and quite structured Bordeaux made for further aging. This is a white Bordeaux that is starting to "come around". It has integrated the oak and is starting to behave like a great wine, yet the fruit needs another year or three in the cellar to blossom.
