有点不太干净，柠檬，瓜类，苹果，桃，略带一点腐败感（榴莲？），淡淡白胡椒，没啥结构。入口有点粘，结构垮，酸度一般，过熟带腐败感，青瓜，草，带一点矿物和杏仁苦，苦味过长。83-84/100

Drinking beautifully right now. Lovely balance of the vibrancy and lift of the sauvignon fruit and the richness, texture, and weight of the Semillon. Ridiculously good for its price.

Sadly, my last one. This wine has delivered in every vintage I've tried. Pretty consistent impression here as my last note in '13. Light golden color. Pretty nose of raw honey, white flowers, pear, grapefruit, pineapple, and a nice, piney, herbal note. Fantastic nose. Medium body and length, and medium+ acid, with flavors of citrus, pear, light tropical fruits, mineral, and a honeyed note. Creamy mouthfeel, and a lingering mineral and acid component to this wine that I enjoy. Very …

Bordeaux (Portobellos) : Smells nice. Crystalline, candied lemon with slight tropical shadings initially. With air and at warmer temperature it turns much more tropical in tone. Good acid with a hint of sweetness. This was a bit different but I liked it.

Very herbal with some nice oak punctuating the zippy fruit. Ends refreshingly mineral and quite long. A bit rustic. Expected more semilion in this.

En torr och välgjord SB-dominerad torr, vit Bdx som aldrig sett ek. Har genom de få åren vi lärt känna varandra, varit åt det mer Nyazeeländska kattpisshållet eller överdrivna ung-Loirehållet. Men, nu då vi snubblar oss genom den sista flaskan, så är den balanserad, välansad och frukten är sansad. Precis som andra på CT anser vi detta vin nu ha lämnat den charmiga ungdomsfasen för en klokt mogen aspekt på tillvaron. Mina poäng var svårvärpta, men efter lite choklad, ett …

By the glass at the BA lounge. Definitely a worse experience than 9 months ago ( Papies 88) and sort of felt old and tired. To the point we tried a few different bottles around the lounge to make sure we didn't hit an off one. There was an oxidised one too btw. Feels a lot older than a 2011 and almost blunt and uninteresting. 84-85 at best..

A most compelling wine of distinction. Aromas of SB-flowers, young SB with cassis and SB-cat's pee. Acids, fruit and everything in this wine married tonight's fried octopus in a most splendid way. It was difficult for the two of us to halt before the btl was empty. (Had to leave some for the patron, Chiba-kun.)

Didn't get to taste it this time. But the crowd didn't complain and it was consumed quite quickly.

By the Glass at the BA lounge. Green apple on the nose, quite a rich, full white wine but takes its time to win you over. Rich yet with good acidity. Feels like it has not settled down yet and could use more time to develop. At the moment one needs to like the style to enjoy. 88 but definitely will improve with time.

Commanderie de Bordeaux tasting/dinner. Medium-light yellow. A lightweight fresh but a bit harmless wine with aromas of white fruit and a bit of see weed. Weak mid palate.

Improved since the last time I had this 10 months ago. Subtle grassy aromas and flavors but with a pronounced minerality. Dry on the palate with great stoney tropical flavors. Dry and crisp on the finish. Acidity is well balanced.

Grassy, herbal nose, cat's pee; citrus and mineral notes as well. On the palate saline, great acidity, grapefruit and lime fruit with Semillon adding a bit of flesh and richness. Tart, slightly bitter finish. Well made, refreshing and excellent value. I see no benefit in keeping this much longer.

Smells & tastes like tinned grapefruit juice, if any other CTers are old enough to remember what that was. Cheap the price, & cheap the wine.

Agree with Stefan below - the SB character is pretty full throttle at this stage. I was able to drink this over 3 days where it kept improving everyday. Lots of SB grassy character, mangosteen, white pit fruits, pear skin. Fresh and long with good cut.

Just checking in on a good friend... (Afterthought in Oct: why did we open it so soon after the previous one, and draining our already diminishing supply. We WANT this when it's mature... Now it's only youthful beauty, but what’s when it's grown up?)

Very expressive, new-world, lots of pyrazines, very fruity (passionfruit, melon), some added weight from 20% Semillon, soft, decent length. Decent wine but surely not what Bordeaux should be attempting to do.

Dark yellow/green; heavy legs. Smells of oak; flowery; stale dried candied cherry juice; dry apricots--noble rot smell. Sweet and fruity, balanced too by acid, feels light right away.
