2001 vintage. 80 % Sauvignon blanc and 20% Sémillon. So glad I had a second bottle of this wine. The first one was beautiful, but this is even better. Deep golden colour. Intensely complex nose with beeswax, lemon confit, dried flowers and honey. Concentrated layered dried fruit, rich and powerful, but beautifully balanced by the acidity. Incredible length with almonds, honey and retronasal dried fruit. Paired this with an amazing Morocco tajine with chicken, olives, lemon confit and potatoes and it was a match made in heaven. Abv. 13,5 %.
