Stuart McCloskey, tasted 21 May 2026 “A wonderfully mature expression of dry white Bordeaux, which is in really good shape and has evolved into something beautifully complex and textural. 
The vibrant citrus and exotic fruit character of youth has mellowed into layers of preserved lemon, beeswax, grilled grapefruit, dried pineapple and warm brioche. There’s a gentle smokiness too. Classic Pessac-Léognan - intertwined with crushed stone, lanolin and hints of acacia honey.

The palate is rich yet remarkably composed, carrying that unmistakable Graves tension between generosity and freshness. Semillon now takes centre stage, delivering a creamy, waxy texture, whilst Sauvignon Blanc still contributes lift, citrus energy and mineral definition. Oak has long since integrated, adding subtle notes of toasted hazelnut and spice rather than overt wood influence.

What impresses most is the balance. Mature, certainly, but far from tired. There remains admirable precision and a saline, gently smoky finish which lingers beautifully. A deeply satisfying white Bordeaux that is best served chilled, in Zalto Universal stem, along with a huge wedge of aged Comté and warm, crusty bread. No need to decant. Drink now and over the next two-three-years.”
