  Punches way above its price in my opinion. Very balanced and full bodied white wine - great for pairing with a winter seafood meal. Tons of life in it now, and no reason to think it wouldn't go for another decade.

  Medium gold. Ripe yellow orchard fruit and stone fruit, hazelnuts, smoke, slight oxidative note too. Fully developed. The palate is equally intense. Full body, medium acidity, med+ finish. This bottle was better than the last - drinking beautifully and still has structure to hold. But I doubt this will improve - enjoy this year and next.

  Medium yellow - looks quite evolved. Ripe orchard fruit and stone fruit, hazelnuts, smoke, slight oxidative note too. Fully developed. The palate is less intense - is this fading a bit? Full body, medium acidity, med+ finish. I’m unconvinced this has a long life ahead of it. Drink this year and next.

  Almond blossom , ripe apple, honeysuckle , and a characteristic slight oxidative aroma. Creamy mouthfeel with medium plus acidity. Nice long finish. Drinking well but can be aged further.

  This tastes pretty typical white Northern Rhône to me; waxy, fat, a little lower acidity, but very good in it’s own peculiar way. No in-depth notes taken but with good balance, a fair amount of complexity and some bottle age, this was a treat.
