Regal blnd sauv (85%) & sem, 07 (****1/2 stars) sets new std for always-fine label: spiced lemon & lime, wonderfully elegant, seamless, lengthy; restrained opulence from brl ferm/11 mths, 15% new. Rung above edgier 06 (****) & or even scintillating 05. (Platter 2009) This white Bordeaux Blend presents itself as both concentrated and elegant. The initially tight structure softens in the glass to reveal nuances of fig and granadilla with a touch of wild vanilla. The wine is rich without being cloying and has an intense and lingering finish dominated by dried tropical fruits.
