3/4/2018 - CADomer Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine was in a nice place, showing maturity but without the sacrifice of freshness. Dried apricot, beeswax, and white flowers across the rich palate. It had a viscous mouthfeel but enough acidity still there to keep the palate feeling clean and fresh. |

7/8/2018 - ubriac0ne Likes this wine: 89 pointsNice mature white Rhône blend. Apricot honey and vanilla. Very expressive nose. Beeswax thick viscous palate. Just a bit lacking acidity to hold up the freshness. |

A lovely balance to this wine - the acidity carries this wine and prevents it becoming sickly or overwhelmed by oak. Very promising. |

7/25/2007 - ths wrote: 90 pointsDeep golden color with pungent aromas. Reminds me of an Alsacian Zind Humbrect, slightly yeasty, strong flavors. Big sturdy white works well with food, somewhat short on the finish though, perhaps will be better with age. Just OK now. |

4/5/2012 - KostaKats wrote: 91 pointsThe Magic of The Rhône, Le Petit Sommelier. Light gold. Ripe citrus fruit, rhubarb, marzipan, lemon blancmange, scented flowers, oaky vanilla and a touch of honeycomb. Medium body, very rich fruit with a honeyed edge. Palate mirrors the nose in complexity and profile. Nutty, concentrated and with an oily feel this is almost chewable. The richness is balanced by medium + acidity. Marsanne in all it's beauty. |

4/5/2012 - Dokken wrote: 92 pointsLemon-gold with a nose that needs time to reveal its true complex character of quince, honey, apricots and marzipans. Creamy and full bodied on palate with zesty acidity, great extract and persistent finish. Approachable but because of impressive concentration will keep possibly for a decade or more. |

4/5/2012 - Yiannis wrote: 91 pointsRhone Magic (Le Petit Sommelier Restaurant): Dark gold. Honey, marzipan, beewax and ripe stone fruit on the nose. Some hints of oxidation that are nicely integrated to a point that they are anything but annoying. Full-bodied, creamy-textured and rich, with moderate acidity and a remarkably long aftertaste. |
