Tasting notes

Straw colour. The nose is very fine and shows expensive new oak, wax, light tropical notes and seaweed. More Semillon-notes than sauvignon blanc. Medium bodied and more open white Bordeaux in the mouth. Wax, seaweed. Oak and slight notes of tropical fruits. Fine and some complexity. Tight and young structure. Really a bit slimmer mouthfeel than expected and crisp. Good acidity and refreshing finish. This is a very fine Bordeaux still a bit too young. Give it 5 more years. Great wine.
