Written Notes

A complex, thought-provoking white. Vibrant and exciting with green herbs, stones and hints of aniseed and wet sea weed. Sea salt, too. It’s full-bodied and tight on the palate and rather shy. But then it takes off at the end and accelerates. Phenolic, with fine tannins. Iron. Oyster shell. 57% semillon and 43% sauvignon.98-99

  • 99p

Bright yellow colour with green hue. Multi-layered nose with aroma reminiscent of peaches, tangerine zest, hints of granadilla, elegant aromatic herbs, elegant toasting, cold smoke, graphite. On the palate excellent depth and mouthfeel, rather rich with wonderful acidity and excellent length, fine citrus fruit, peaches and hints of tropical fruit. Creamy texture. A truly great White.

Château Haut-Brion Blanc 2021 / 55% Semillon + 45% Semillon. Great intensity of green apple, pear and pineapple, acidity, crispiness, structure and length. Vibrant. Long lemony aftertaste. Sheer class. 98+p.
