No notes, but drank over three nights and it kept getting better, indicating that my previous notes about it improving over hours, holds up and that this wine may have more life left in it than the drinking window indicates. Give this air, don't drink too cold.

My observations are a bit of a hybrid of the others below, but I was more impressed overall. The pineapple some describe did show, but it was never an overripe or even fully ripe pineapple, just the essence, not too "sweet" in the nose, along with just-ripe nectarine and white flower petals; shows a bit of flinty minerality; balanced with enough acid to keep it from being flabby; only a light touch of bitterness on the finish at some points during drinking, but I liked it. This drank well over hours.

3.5 Gentle floral and pear aromatics with a mineral core. Acidity enters smoothly and picks up steam through the mid-palate and finish. Medium weight. Old-world style through and through. Delightful.

Fruit flavors of predominantly lemon and other citrus elements, pineapple, with oak, all nicely balanced. Good body. Very attractive bouquet. Intense when opened, but seemed to fade somewhat after 45 minutes.

Don't have much experience w white rhone but this was pretty good. Medium body, Some white peach, nectarine, floral aromas reminds me of Chenin blanc, there's a slight sweetness and bitterness on the finish somehow. 88-89.
