A light gold in colour. A very different nose. - a caramel liqueur note originally - I have a feeling the nose on this will change frequently over the next few hours. Flinty, white florals, an oxidative note. Very fresh on the palate for a 16 year old wine. 86% Semillon and 14% Sauvignon Blanc. Certainly a wine that benefits from and is made to cellar. Robert Parker gave this 98 points and said it should last 30 years in the cellar. I can’t see it myself as the lemon citric acid has diminished greatly at this point. Obviously this is White Bordeaux Royalty and very pleasing but not for the stupid price I paid. One of the 1001 Wines. The next night I noticed the viscosity on the palate and a honeysuckle note. Oak is integrated. Certainly an experience but dreadful QPR.

@Peter Zandbergen Peter, I have a bottle of this that I was considering opening. From your score it would appear to be holding up?
