  From magnum.
  
  Color/App: medium-deep yellow core with gold tinting; medium + viscosity. Lovely, enticing bouquet of honeycomb, beeswax, lanolin, pear and a touch of lime. Big and lush palate of stone fruit, citrus, honey and marzipan and wet slate minerality. Creamy mouthfeel with good acidity, plump midpalate and a long, delicious finish. Drinking perfectly now and will obviously hold in this format for quite a few more years. Yum!

  Tasted blind. Floral notes of lavender soap, fruit of unripe banana and stone fruit, roasted almonds. Dense palate, but soft with a creamy texture. This has aged well, but is unlikely to improve further with first hints of oxidative notes appearing in the distance.

  There is no other white in my cellar like this. Truly unique and outstanding in all its sensory delights.

  No notes taken. Not really my cup of tea. While it’s not flabby and has a decent acidity spine for a Marsanne, it still doesn’t have enough acidity to deliver a convincing performance. There is some honey, some floral notes and a bit of minerality. But this is not a particularly complex and especially not that well-defined. All in all, a solid wine without any exceptionalism.

  Not much acidity but has lots of mineral undertone to make up the difference. Nice lenght
