Another gorgeous white Graves from this vintage, this wine offers up notes of honeysuckle, lanolin, sweet citrus, and hints of orange peel as well as quince and white currants. It is medium to full-bodied, with fresh acidity, subtle nuances of smoky oak, and a long finish. It should drink well for 15 or more years.
Offers dried pineapple and lemon, with hints of cream and toasty oak. Full-bodied, with layers of fruit¿from mango to papaya¿with a little cream. Balanced and pretty. Creamy and delicious. Subtle. Why wait? Drink now.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 19/20 points.
