This is very linear and direct on the palate, showing great potential and length. Full body with mango and dried-lemon character and a long, flavorful finish. Shows intent and seriousness. Tight and structured. Better after 2021.

Composed of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon, the Cos d'Estournel 2016 Blanc opens with exotic fruit notions of guava and passion fruit giving way to nuances of peach blossoms, honeysuckle and wild thyme. Medium-bodied, the palate is packed with tropical and stone fruit layers with a racy backbone and long, perfumed finish.

A rapier, with thyme and lime pith notes streaking through, followed by chiseled white peach and tarragon accents. The pure, refined finish is all zing. Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2024. 3,667 cases made. — JM
