Wonderful. Light and elegant, but with just enough complexity and fullness to charm. This will move into more honeyed, oily direction in next years, but more than enjoyable now.

This was nice, but young and in a slightly typically awkward phase for a a Roussanne based wine. Appeared quite a bit more advanced that it's age, but that didn't shock me. These wines seem to gain energy with a few more years of bottle age. I'd like to give my next bottle another 5 years, before trying again.

Wonderful creamy feeling in the mouth, refreshing, oak in decent balance (although I do like oak!), but (as the Jancis note correctly says) it falls away a bit at the end, and overall lacks something.

Printemps du Châteauneuf-du-Pape tasting. (La salle des fêtes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape): Just some short notes. Full bodied and round. Yellow fruits and some honey. Full bodied and round and some ok acidity, but overall a bit too easy.
