Extremely high acidity as well as high wood makes it doubtful as to whether this wine will ever provide a great deal of pleasure.
A tightly knit Bordeaux white, built for aging. Full-bodied and powerful, its intense aromas of mineral, apple, spice and honey are followed in the mouth by a compact and rich fruit structure and lively acidity. This estate is always tops.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
