  Much more oxidized than last time I had it. Still
  Palate was quite nice but less tropical and more on tertiary notes. Different but quite nice.

  (CdV)
  Bien evolué, marqué par une oxydation propre aux vieux millésimes de ce VV, mais qui se dissipait en mangeant de façon presque magique!
  Là d’un coup, le vin virait sur le tilleul et la bergamote, la Roussanne reprenant ses droits (une lotte sauce ecrevisse) et delaissant ses défauts aromatiques du premier nez.
  Tout s’harmonisait en mangeant, le terroir salin offrant du relief, de la finesse, de la légèreté…
  Un vrai vin de gastronomie !
  A boire donc, il ne gagnera pas plus bien évidemment.

  A hard wine for me evaluate as I seldom drink 100% Roussanne. The minerality was excellent, but there was a sweetness that did not marry with any particular fruit flavors, citrus or tropical. It was almost like a touch of artificial sweetener was added and the citrus and tropical fruits were just naturally very dry or fading. The color did not indicate too much age, and there were no oxidative notes. Not an unpleasant wine and the 15 second finish was more enjoyable than the initial attack.
