Tasting notes

Yellow colour with greenish hues. Nose shows oak, smoke, butter and a slight minerality. Fullbodied wine in the mouth. Not the most concentrated white Bordeaux, but much oak. Highly dominating at this stage. Shows some hints of smoke and an underlying minerality. Good acidity and length. The oak seems too high for this wine. Hope that it integrates over time.

Yellow colour. The nose shows a lot of wood. Old dust, wax, some tropical elements and dried flowers. Good body. Decent concentration of fruit. Still oaky style. Evolved. Wax, old wood. Semillon-notes. A light complexity. Low acids and medium length. This always had too much oak. Although it drinks better now it never got around to balance it.
