Beautiful white fruit on he nose, slightly candied. The mouth has excellent volume on the attack and it finishes with some fresh acidity hinting this was not yet fully ready. From magnum

beautifully made! Good balance of fruits (quince) and notes of evolution (wax, hay). Concentrated and complex. Nice tension which makes it fresh. Long finish! Perfect time to drink it.

White Loire: A bit more of everything compared to the FdP version. A bit more expressive, more aromatic, also had the same green note on the nose. The nose reminded me somewhat of an oaked 1er Cru Chablis - Raveneau or Dauvissat. Palate was milder and softer than FdP version, but it was juicy and lively as well. A touch more of accidity here. A touch of unripe fruits, but FdP was a touch unripe as well. Probably FdP had more intense palate, while this had more intense nose. But overall they were quite close and grafted version a much better QPR.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape session (Extra Space): 2nd time trying this lovely wine. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow-gold colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of floral honeysuckle, salty + stony minerality, ripe citrus fruit,. Developing. On the palate, I now think this is dry, bright high acidity, medium alcohol, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of citrus lemon, sweet apple, honeysuckle, salty + stony minerality. Long finish. Very good acidity and nice mineral streak. Very good quality. Enjoy and will still develop over next 10 years.
