This is an excellent white Bordeaux. The nose has a bit of a buttery sent ( like a Chardonnay), but don't worry, there is no butter flavor. Flavors of lemon/ lemon grass are predominant. The lemon acidity is reduced by a creamy medium body texture giving the wine some weight. Pineapple hangs in the background (you know that chunk that doesn't really have full flavor in the batch) and blends a bit with the creamy feel holding it back. For those put off by acidic Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand... Looking for more body ( a fuller feel), than this is your wine. Excellent wine, excellent price.
