Popped and poured at home. Pale gold. Pear, strawberry and faint anise on the nose. Medium legs. Rich almost buttery mouthfeel. Notes of honey crisp apple, pear, ripe melon and Meyer lemon. The fruit melds well with rounded citrus notes and tannins. Long finish. Still drinking quite well. Was as good on night 2 as night 1.

The nose has a floral aspect with lemon verbena. Surprisingly light bodied for a Grenache Blanc, in a good way. Refreshing and bright. Nice acidity. Great waxy lemon flavors. As others said, it reminded of Chenin. Good stuff.

Waited too long on this final bottle. No rating because this is my fault.

I guess one can only appreciate Grenache Blanc from a certain distance. And the repose is not yet quite ripe.
