All translate to the palate with a touch of waxiness texture wise. Nice (507 views) | | Tasted by chatters on 2/15/2015: Ben's 50th B'day (Ben and Estella's place, Parramatta): aromas of crushed walnuts and slight figs, slight oxidised handling. Flavours of figs, walnuts and honey and, despite lacking acidity, the wine is quite fresh. Very nice. (982 views) | | Tasted by Nickos on 2/10/2014 & rated 91 points: a fantastic wine, very enjoyable. Loads going on, complex nose - dried fruits, apricots, marmalade. Amazing mouth feel - smooth, with sweet and acidic flavors throughout a very long taste - it goes on for ages. (978 views) | | Tasted by Weston3220 on 11/13/2013 & rated 90 points: that subtle nose you always find on those southern rhone whites. the palate is high but balanced med+ body, its that marsanne roussane fruit that is s hard t o explain but is so engaging (1060 views) |
