Tasting note |
Owned by négociant firm Dourthe, La Garde has developed hugely in recent years both for red and white wines. This white from 2003 is certainly rich, a product of the hot summer, but it shows good balance from the light touch of vanilla wood flavors, creamed apples and some good tannic structure. Age over the next five years. By Roger Voss @ Wine Enthusiast, Jun 2005.
