Closed behind a massive wall of mineral for the first hour or two. Slate, wax, exotic spice, cumin and touches of exotic pear on the bouquet. After time a stronger waxy crayon note appeared alongside a more exuberant fresh sauv character. The palette is full with spice notes predominating accompanied with asian pear/lychee with ample complexity and touches of oil and mineral. Not ready for another 3-5 years but with potential to be amazing. Excellent.

Subtle citrus fruit, great minerality and awesome balance. This was the Blanc from 2011 not the red Bordeaux listed.
