Note di degustazione
The 2014 Aile d’Argent Blanc has a deep color for such a young dry white Bordeaux. It has an attractive bouquet with scents of lemon curd, white peach and Cornice pear. The palate is quite vibrant with crisp acidity, sharp at the moment but there is weight and concentration here, adorned with a slightly waxy textured, ginger infused finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Tasted blind. Bright yellowish green. Strong lanolin notes. Such an interesting wine of a style not encountered elsewhere. Long and a bit alcoholic. (JR)
The 2014 Blanc, 57% Sauvignon Blanc and 43% Semillon, was bottled one year earlier (September 2015); it has a fresh grapefruit and lychee-scented bouquet that is well defined, hints of passion fruit and clementine. The palate is fresh and taut on the entry with crisp acidity, very harmonious and with a tensile finish. It is not the most complex Aile d'Argent that I have encountered, but it should drink well over the next decade.
The 2014 Aile d'Argent is laced with the essence of orchard fruit, brioche, dried flowers and chamomile. The higher %age of Sémillon, along with the natural personality of the vintage, produced a softer style for this wine than some past vintages. I would prefer to drink the 2014 sooner rather than later.
