Served blind in a Zalto bdx. The nose is tropical, with a bit of verve. Kind of a less than fruity profile though and the oak seems to have receded quite a bit, just a hint of vanillin left. Alcohol a bit high but that was a nice tell.

Coravin fun - Northern(ish) Rhone (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas show a little stone fruit, waxy, oaky sweet spice, like the Ogier le Temps a little alcohol prickle. Juicy, a little stone fruit, touch of bitterness joins an oaky burr, a little glycerol waxiness, alcohol warmth on the finish, creamy elements with time...Hmm

I love this wine. Decanted for 2h. Expressive nose -- almonds, pears and honeysuckle. A little lighter body than many Hermitage but plenty of acidity. Great food wine.
Tasted side-by-side with '15 Chave blanc. Very different styles. Personally the richness and body of the Chave won it for me but it was close and split the room. The wine looks yellow colored. The legs are medium. Lemon, honeydew, pear and almond. The body is medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Refreshing minerality, with pear and citrus flavors. Nice long finish. Love the malolactic after-taste: almond, marzipan. Cheerful, lively. Impressively balanced. Drink now.

Delicious but not as distinctive as other vintages of this great wine. Perhaps waiting a few more years- certainly no rush.
