Other Reviews...
A bold, spicy style, with ginger, apple pie, pineapple and hazelnut notes racing along, laced with a hint of singed orange peel. Exotic and energetic.

Aromas of pineapple, peach, sage and smoky botrytis have a saline edge. Very lively acidity provides focus to the tactile stone fruit, mango and papaya flavours (only 118 g/l RS).

An excellent example of the year with dried apples, apricots and lemons. Full-bodied, medium sweet with a super intense finish and spices.

The Château de Myrat 2014 is a blend of 88% Sémillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Muscadelle. At 118 grams per liter residual sugar it has one of the lowest levels, with 4.5 grams per liter total acidity. It seems just a little “simple” on the nose with scents of honeysuckle and beeswax, though my main gripe is that it does not offer the mineralité of its peers at the moment. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with plenty of pineapple and citrus fruit mixed with light honeyed tones towards the finish. This improves with aeration in the glass, not a million miles away from Doisy-Daëne in style, but with slightly less breeding. With a bit of luck it will land at the top of my banded score.
