The wine is medium lemon in colour. It has medium intensity - developing - aromas of fresh green and citrus fruit (green apple, gooseberry, lemon juice) with added notes of herbaceousness (freshly cut grass, blackcurrant leaf) plus hints of lanolin and tropical fruit (passion fruit). The wine is dry with high acidity, medium alcohol, medium+ body and medium+ intensity flavours mirroring the nose. Silky smooth texture (enveloping steely cold acidity), medium+ finish.
Very good quality. Fruit is of well-defined quality and well-balanced against the refreshing acidity and the - embryonic - waxy complexity. Overall intensity could, however, perhaps be slightly more pronounced?
Gættet var lige i skabet. Det vil sige - jeg præsenterede min kone for følgende overvejelser:
1) Graves
2) Pessac-Leognan
3) Sauvignon Blanc
4) Semillon
Hun bekræftede vinen som værende blandt de nævnte.
Mit bud på 2012 (Denis Dubourdieu) Clos Floridène Graves Blanc viste sig korrekt.
