Tasting notes

Yellow colour. A little shy, but pretty nose with hints of oak, wax, minerality, faded flowers. Medium bodied white Bordeaux in the mouth. Mature fruit, quite floral and mineral with integrated oak. But again lacking in intensity, which also takes some of the depth. Decent acidity and medium length. This is a good wine and there is no errors in the taste. But the lack in intensity is so disappointing considering how great this wine has been on other occasions. It was like hearing the wine through a window.
