Rich and unctuous, with an almost oily texture. White flower and pit fruit aromas, this probably could use a few more years before opening the next bottle.

93% Marsanne, 7% Rousanne. Guigal recommend ageing for 20 years. Big rich and intense, this has a wonderful unctuous mouth feel. On the palate this has a real sense of substance, though there is no skin contact. Flavours of stone fruit and honey. Long finish, already with some complexity. Will become waxier, richer and develop volume with age.

Rich, creamy, layered, certainly a big boy, but it has character and balance; minerals, citrus present along with the butter -. and butterscotch #Fac&Spe#HermitageFest

Underwhelming. Muted flavors, nothing exciting. Hold and hope.
