35% Sémillon, 65% Sauvignon Blanc Aromatic and pungent oaked white Bordeaux without too much oak. Nice balance. You'd definitely need food with this, or I could imagine drinking it on a plane because of its very positive impact on the palate. Astringent finish at the moment. (JR)
Cool and fragrant with black fruit on the nose, some spice. Rich, good depth of fruit. Acidity is pretty high but balanced by soft sweet fruit. Firm, rounded though prominent tannins, which are ripe but not very supple at the moment. (JH)
