Cos D’Estournel Bordeaux Blanc Joanne 2024

Lemon balm, creaminess, some waxy fruit, acacia and white peach. Lovely scents and more than just citrus. Round, layered and interesting, this has a tiny touch of pineapple giving sweetness and bitterness with peach and pear and crisp apple too. Lovely weight and focus to this. Layered and determined but with a gentle confidence. Great for the vintage, tangy, clean, pure but so alive! Really just amazing energy here. I love it. Great complexity and nuance. Ageing 8% new barrels. 3.04pH. Drinking window: 2026-2038. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
