This elegance defies the vintage and resets your palate to a place of nuance and finesse that is nearly impossible to find in these 2017 releases

Surprisingly there is a touch of menthol on the still youthfully fresh and bright nose of mostly red berry fruit

the 2017 Flor de Pingus was produced from very concentrated grapes with lots of tannin

creamy wine that shows incredible intensity of flavor without excess weight

Pavillon Blanc other_regions_italy forest floorThe 2014 Pavillon Blanc de Chteau Margaux is just a bit anonymous on the nose, despite encouragement. The palate is sharp on the entry, very edgy and sharp, verging on sour lemon mixed with lime and peach towards the finish. This is one of the few Bordeaux dry whites that improved with aeration and I ended up giving a higher score. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin
