This is my first Bordeaux blanc with some real age to it. It's oxidized to become more like Heredia white Riojas or white Musar from Lebanon, with some mushroomy, nutty flavors (which to me is not at all a bad thing). Still some acidity left, though more like a caramelized lemon than a fresh one. Not the classic way to drink it, I guess, but I quite enjoyed it.

    I fully expected this wine to be dreck, based on estimates of lifetime from books and indeed from the winemaker a few months ago. In fact it was delicious! The caramel touches on top of the citrusy character gave it character and distinction. As a food wine, in this case shrimp scampi, it was excellent.
