On opening a chilled bottle, Lovely waxy, honeyed-but-dry-finishing, classic old dry white bordeaux. Edge of ashiness. This is decidedly not for neophytes. You need to have tasted some young, lanolin-scented, sometimes rather oily dry white bordeaux to appreciate how this wine has matured and taken on so much more interest and balance.  Well done, FVD, for shining the spotlight on this unique style of wine and for locating such a haunting, mature example of it. A far from truculent teenager.... On tasting from that same bottle, not chilled, a day after opening, The wine has now lost its freshness and the oily, heavy aspect of white Graves is in the ascendant. This just shows how sensitive some wines are to temperature, and how fragile fully mature wines are to air.
