Acid a little low, and aromas/flavors are non-descript stone fruit, but a solid showing for a 20 year old white wine. Falls apart with air, so drink quickly.

Nice mature white Rhône blend. Apricot honey and vanilla. Very expressive nose. Beeswax thick viscous palate. Just a bit lacking acidity to hold up the freshness.

(E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc) Pale gold in color. Fragrant peach and mango aromas backed by orange blossom, beeswax, and lychee nut and knit together by a stony minerality. Round, viscous mouthfeel, with moderate alcohol balanced by toasty oak. Honey and bitter almond emerge on a fairly long finish. Enough acidity to stand up well to food. Terroir: Hermitage

Golden yellow. Lanolin, honeysuckle, muted apricot fruit. The last 2 bottles were undrinkable and oxidized, so a pleasant surprise.
