December 28, 2022 - Waxy and honeycombed, this is fully mature+ but with the stuffing to nearly remain vibrant.

April 2, 2022 - Drank alongside Chave 89 Hermitage Blanc and this was a Sorry cousin. We all expected more of it. Still a decent wine with a decent finish, just not what I expected.

January 4, 2022 - It took about 45 minutes and some warming up and then it became this unexpected brilliant wine. I had not experienced matured Marsanne, but we’ve enjoyed this bottle immensely over the course of the evening. My drinking buddy summarized the wine as “camp fire by the sea” as its starts out quite silty and with aroma’s of ash and fire. After the smoke blows away you feel and taste honey, almonds and still a bit of fruit. A super long rich, full finish! What a joy!

March 26, 2021 - Light Golden yellow
Mature cider and pear aromas
Unctuous ripe pear, with just a hint of bitter almond. The richest white i’ve ever experienced.
