  Best bottle from my six-pack.... Two to go.
  Speechless...
  Guigal la Doriane meets Aubert Ritchie and then back to Chapoutier l'orée.
  Monumental wine showing mesmerizing notes of tropical fruit and flowers. Deep, rich and intense. Pine-apple and papaya, firecracker, ginger and candied lemon. Such an impressive and heavy-handed wine.... yet its fantastic acidity makes this is so complete, so hedonistic, so cerebral...
  Just great.

  Two bottles, first one slightly corked. Second one in good conditioin. Peppery saffron, deep floral notes, almond paste, grilled carrots, anise and wet pebbles. Low/soft acidity and a long peaceful finish. Great wine.

  Mature golden colour. Complex and multilayered bouquet, showing lavender, sea shells, honey and abundant floral nuances. On the palate this is very broad, intense and complex, yet full of finesse and detail. Saffron, pepper, hazelnut, mango and rocky-mossy-riverbed-kinda minerality. Probably just past its peak, but it is holding up very well! Miani's always very special, but a bottle at age 17 is rare, extraordinary and truly memorable.
