Description
Lemon zest, pear, apple and grapefruit all compete on the nose here, which is enticing and rewarding. White floral aromas emerge too. The palate is a touch more exotic, with grapefruit in the ascendency and just the merest touch of citrus. Baked fruits are really tasty here. The juice is fresh, dry and multi-layered. There is a very pleasing length, completed by mouth-watering acidity. This is one of our favourite whites of the vintage: really classy white Bordeaux.
