(still on its lees) Hazy appearance. Musky, captivating aromas of lime, lemon drop, grapefruit, honeysuckle and quinine. Dense, sappy and ripe but with terrific lemony cut and firm spiciness buffering the wine's sweetness. This powerful, long wine really saturates the palate. Finishes classically dry. I loved this last spring, and today I find more precision and grip than the young 2005 shows.
(88% sauvignon blanc and 12% semillon) Very pale color. Pungent, high-toned aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, quinine, ginger, mint, minerals and flowers. Densely packed and succulent, with refreshing, sharply delineated flavors of lime, grapefruit, mint and minerals. Offers a compelling sweetness buffered by bright acidity. At once supple and gripping, and very long and lively on the back end. This is 13% alcohol without any chaptalization. A great early showing.
