Fantastic rendition of this wine. Only requires slightcooling to cellar temperature and aeration to shine. Surprisingly was more popular than 99 Chave White Hermitage tonight. Seems underrated to me - more notes with next bottles

Dark golden orange colour like a middle aged Sauternes. Wonderful tropical fruit, heady nose and a surprising amount of sweetness in the mid palate, though the finish is dry. Indeed, it has all the profile of a full-bodied sweet white wine without the actual sugar. A great bottle - they aren't all.
