Chateau Bouscaut, Blanc Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan

Some complexity here but lacking a bit of intensity with quite a short finish.

2007 vintage

Golden colour and a lovely minerally nose. This is still very fresh, obviously well stored (thank you Wine Society), with some gently fading stone fruit and a hint of honey. This has lasted very well, and is highly enjoyable now, but I can't see it improving from here - drink now.

2007 vintage

Deep gold. Toast, lemon, honey, maybe slight smoke? Medium-full bodied, slightly waxy, fresh acidity. Very good.

2007 vintage

Profoundly luminous amber golden colour with tinges of green. Extraordinary nose - strange and mysterious, like bay hales and cheese (!) Acidic and dry. Tarte tatin, cashew nuts, pears. Turmeric and fenugreek. But fresh and irresistibly eccentric. Superb.

2007 vintage

Golden yellow in color, the wine offers a honeysuckle and citrus character, with a bite of green apple in the finish. Fully mature, the wine requires drinking.

2009 vintage

Voldsom i udtrykket med krudt, røg, flint.

2009 vintage

Vibrant beautiful blonde colour, light/medium body. Lovely hit of physalis, and baby kiwi on the nose. Same on the the palette, with a hint of gooseberry thrown in. Great acidity to go with it. Little bit rough - alcohol can dominate the later taste - but still pretty decent.

2009 vintage

Alluring nose of burnt caramel and wood. Mouthfilling to start with with lots of promise. Founders at mid palate and and fizzles out at the finish. Ironically it all came together when I poured this last thimbleful! I will decant the next bottle, let it breath and see what's happens.

2009 vintage

Fully mature, drinking well now, but not to keep longer.

2007 vintage

Classic ole world with lemony earthy mushroom; sweet long on palate; long full finish.

2007 vintage

Pungent; mushrooms; earth; brackish; golden; good acidity that dissipates; lean finish.

2007 vintage

gOLDEN COLOUR , GREEN APPLES , a touch acidic , took away from the wine

2009 vintage

Pamplemousses (léger) ,pommes vertes,finale qui s'estompe rapidement je trouves.Une bonne aciditée. Pour le même prix (54$) il y a beaucoup mieux à mon avis.

2009 vintage

Agree with below notes. Very nice on first day but hollow on day 2

2007 vintage

Golden color. Medium body, and long finish. Apricots and nectarine taste prevail. Slightly sweet but overpowered by the powerful acidity. I would have scored this higher if it weren't for the acidity.

2009 vintage

golden colour nose - grapefruit and some vanilla - toasty rich oily texture lemon fruit , some nuttiness slightly hard acidic finish rich not that long (might need time) Good though not good value

2007 vintage

very nicely balanced, elegant, smooth white Bordeaux

2007 vintage

This is the second graves blanc that I hv tasted but it'd not the best blanc that I like, like another white wine from graves that I hv tasted before, on the nose, it's full of smell of apricot and on the palate, it's very full bodied and with a lot of apricot, vanilla and flora taste, I think it's a bit too strong I'm taste for me and it's not the usual blanc that I love, tasted it with …

1989 vintage

Different , improved after an hour or 2 . Will be interesting in another year or 2 in the cellar. Will pick up more .

2009 vintage

Luscious, perfectly balanced white Bordeaux

2007 vintage

sophisticatted, elegant, complex, medium-bodied white Bordeaux. Yammie

2007 vintage

luscious rich, but lacked a bit of the previous nice acidity

2007 vintage

luscious, rich, creamy, toasted almonds.

2007 vintage

While not really oxidized, this wine is past its prime. Deep golden color, full in the mouth with the taste of a wine that has seen better days. Drinkable, but borderline flawed, especially in the light of other more favorable impressions. Dubious at best.

2007 vintage

luscious & rich palate with nice acidity.

2007 vintage

The wine was aired 1 hour before drinking and was luscious, with a rich, creamy palate and nice balancing acidity.

2007 vintage

seemed tired at the beginning but opened up nicely after 2 hours. Lacked a bit of the nice acidity of the previous bottles though

2007 vintage

Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux 2009 (Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, ON) : Differing from the other whites in character, big citrus profile. Good firm finish like there is a heavy tannin balance to bring things together.

2009 vintage

Grapefruit in the nose, rich & creamy palate.

2007 vintage

Not as bad as presumed. Good color, darkish, full sweet nose and on the palate. Good experience.

1929 vintage

UGC Bordeaux Tasting (Boston) : Brighter in style. Good fruit. Citrusy.

2009 vintage

Stone & citrus on the nose. Palate of lime and grapefruit, rich ripe mouthfeel, some cream. Long citrus finish, still very young.

2007 vintage

Light clear straw coloured. Sharp citrussy nose with grapefruit and lychee. A little roundness from the Semillon. Sweet lemon sherbet on the palate, crisp and acidic with sweet peach and lemon flavours.

2007 vintage

Intense golden colour, consistent, nose not very powerful, taste good, but somewhat disappointing since colour and consistency promised a lot more. Would not wait much longer.

1999 vintage

This is a very painful TN to write. I failed to protect this wine from the heat in the summer of 1997 and when I looked at it again in autumn, the colour had turned two shades darker. When I purchased it at Christie's in Amsterdam in 1993, it looked even better than the bottle tasted in 1994 (better level, lighter colour). It was still a good drink when I opened it today, but I will never know its real …

1929 vintage

Medium buttercup yellow, golden sheen; amazing bouquet, roses and violets, soft, grapy, hint of sweetness; wonderfully ripe, rich, calm, very juicy, perfect balance, concentrated, seamless; fabulous honeyed finish, great length. Fantastic.

1929 vintage
