  Wine currently in a dumb phase --- as can happen with white rhone.
  
  Zero aromas, no nose at this time. On tasting, alcohol levels feel high and unbalanced. The only positive was the buttery / silky feel in the mouth..
  
  Suggest checking with your local Fine Wine Merchant and ask advice their advice if you are considering opening a bottle. Failing that, perhaps do not open the wine at this time (cellar for perhaps at least another 5 years), the wine needs time in the bottle to rebalance and become harmonious once again.

  Drinking really well. Popped and poured. Nice complexity, some sweet fruit notes, and excellent finish.

  10 years young! Delicious dinner wine. Paired with a tangy chicken and cauliflowered rice dish. Dry with lots of structure. Medium mouth feel. Pear and apple notes.
