Description

An explosive nose of pineapple, grapefruit and slight citrus overtones heralds the spiced pears and pineapple which continue on to the powerful yet refined palate, with a precise balance of acidity. The finish lasts at least 10 minutes and no doubt this wine will go on for at least a decade... What more can a wine offer? This truly is one of the finest dry whites I have tasted in a long time and if you don't have a case, or two, in your cellar, I would strongly advise you pick one up before they sell out.

We thought Olivier Bernard's 2006 was sensational, but this has a length and intensity that takes it to an even higher level. From its divine, pure, creamy fruit nose to the seamless, explosive finish that must have lasted 20 minutes, this is nigh-on perfection. Powerful, refined pineapple, citrus, pear and minerals form its core, while firm, perfectly-integrated acidity ensures a glorious future ahead. On a par with Haut-Brion's epic 2007, it is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the finest white Bordeaux ever made.
