Not a bad wine by any means but clearly past its best lacking much vigor and acidity. It's weighty rather than fresh. There are subdued tropical fruit flavors and chalky minerals apparent with some complexity on the finish.

Très similaire au millésime 2009 et meilleur tenu que le vineyard « Ritchie » du même millésime. Belle robe doré pâle sur la brioche, miel et boisé. Belle profondeur, corps présent avec une bonne longueur en bouche. Vin équilibré, du gros plaisir à boire.

Lovely golden hue. Notes of rich stone fruit. Lovely mouth feel with enough acidity to balance the richness of the fruit with quite a long finish. I'm surprised this wine was this yummy at this age.

Classic. Bought off the wine list at Seacrest Seafood Bellevue WA for $200! Hay like color, gorgeous nose and the palate weight was so delicious and drank so well after a week of drinking PN in Oregon. Tasty.
