Chateau Climens Asphodèle Blanc Bordeaux 2018
Brilliant, medium golden color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of bees wax, peach, and honey with supporting notes of citrus zest, mineral, and chamomile. The palate echoes the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of apricot, blanched almonds, lemon curd, and nectarine. The finish is long and lingering with sweet and tart fruits in equal parts. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant but waxy texture. $41.99 – 5 Stars – 97 points
