From the Downs Club First Growth Lunch last Saturday. Very brief notes. Mid crimson in colour - some bricking at the rim. A meaty note - a lovely red fruited perfume - unmistakably first growth. Just medium weight - a lesser vintage. — 8 days ago

Color showing some age already. Nose of ripe plum. Medium acidity with resolved tannins and medium plus finish. Still some fruit at the first sip, which gives way to some wood, coffee and dark chocolate flavors. — 10 days ago

At 10 years this wine is ready to boogie with a big dinner. It's juicy, balanced, and very pleasant. — 13 days ago

Merlot dominant in a left bank. Rare but definitely an experience. Plush wine with good tannins and a great evolving flavor. Black currants, touches of plums, graphite and a wine that evolves throughout the experience. An age worthy wine. — a month ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.7

Blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc with 5% Semillon and 5% Sauvignon Gris, aged 50% new oak. Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, citrus and blossom with spicy notes. On the palate flavors of peach, pear and pineapple with slight citrus and honeysuckle adding pepper spice. Long finish, balanced acidity, ending with a fruit, oak and chalky mineral spice character. Very good! Will age well! — 11 days ago
