Estimate
Loads of minerality, a hint of subtle spice, but mostly just pure orange marmalade, candle wax, honeysuckle and caramelized melons make for a full-bodied, distinctive style of wine...
Remarkably polished and lush, with creamed white peach, grapefruit curd and heather honey notes, followed by a rapier of crème fraîche, green almond and chamomile flavors that drives through the finish.
Mandarin orange, pear, vanilla and licorice aromas are lifted by a hint of ginger on the nose. Supple, sweet and succulent on the palate, with rich, ripe citrus, peach and mineral flavors nicely perked up by harmonious acidity.
Broad and honeyed on the nose (the Haut-Brion whites always prove supremacy of terroir over variety). Massive and broad and pungent.
