Ripe inviting nose of lychee, peaches and flowers. The palate is pretty full, coating the mouth with delicious peachy fruit, lychees and a spicy, long finish. Great balance to this wine and wonderful with the Thai chicken curry supper. As it happens I am drinking this wine on the day the news Etienne Hugel passed away on Sunday. I was lucky to meet the man himself, very nice man, great character, wonderful wines. RIP Etienne.

Ripe, tropical nose of melon, mango & pineapple, just a hint of rose water. Palate drier than expected, only slightly off. As nose, decent acidity still considering the age.
