This has a lifted, voluminous nose that is lacking a little complexity. Very primal, developing scents of white flower with aeration. The palate is vibrant and really packs a punch on the entry. overly citrus orange peel notes inflect the honeyed fruit, taut and precise towards the finish. If the aromatics develop in barrel, this will be excellent.
A lush, front-loaded style, with lots of ginger cream, heather honey and warm shortbread notes that are quite rich and powerful, cutting a broad swath on the finish. A hedonist's sweet wine, with the stuffing to last a while in the cellar. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
