Graves, Bordeaux, France
This was served during my annual WWC hosting. Typical format of sparkler, three whites, four reds, one dessert, all served blind.
90SB/5Sauvignon Gris/5 semillon. Decanted an hour. Bright. Limestone, grapefruit, and a green fruit (gooseberry?) aromatic. It’s both tropical (underripe pineapple) and mineral driven. Nervy with good acidity. Gains a more round profile toward the finish with sneaky tart fruit. Youthful and should age well. Fun to try next to the Melka Mekerra Proprietary white.

Great acidity and body. Will hold up against bolder dishes and heavier sauces.

Little restrained on the nose but a nice creaminess and roundness. Moving to ripe and rich touch. On the palate is supple and creamy with a long lasting finish. Less immediate, it’ll need time. 96-97

Neus super tertiair, sherry, ook in de mond tè belegen (zelfs voor mij), flesfout!

Still going strong. Less intruiging compared to the Fieuzal I had a couple of weeks ago.
