86 Points

Wednesday, November 27, 2013 - Very pale brass. Initially very quiet on the nose and palate. A bit of toasty apple nose. Nice bitter edge. Lacks enough acidity for balance right out of the bottle. After 30 minutes some slight improvement in complexity but still too soft. Flavors good, Ei liked, but I think this lacks acidity. Day 2 update; There is some acidity now on the finish but still too soft in the mid-palate. This seems to be consistently the weak spot (when there is one) for the Rhone whites. Flavor profiles are great, structure is sometimes lacking, as in this wine.
