Note di degustazione
After my lukewarm reaction from barrel, the 2018 Clos Floridene Blanc still does not convince on the nose, missing the precision and personality that I have encountered in previous years. The palate is slightly better, offering tinned peach, grapefruit and melon notes, but this is just not one of my favorite vintages.

The 2018 Clos Floridène Blanc is an absolute delight to taste. Bright and airy, with effusive aromatics, the 2018 is just gorgeous. Orchard fruit, lemon oil, mint, sage and a hint of nutmeg are some of the many notes that grace this polished, refined white from the Dubourdieu family. The 2018 has come together nicely since I last tasted it.
The 2018 Clos Floridene Blanc is one of my favourite white dry Bordeaux, yet the bouquet here is a bit smudged and lacks definition. The palate is rounded on the entry with apricot and red apples, segueing into a mango-tinged finish that is better than the aromatics.
The 2018 Clos Floridène Blanc is bright, airy and quite understated. Orchard fruit, mint, lemon peel and floral notes are nicely lifted. As good as the 2018 is, I would have liked to see more depth and overall texture.
