Medium golden color. First very primary, adding some complexity after a decant of about 1 hour. Pretty notes of white orchards, some candied lemon zest, honey, a touch of popcorn and also some sweet spices. It‘s medium-full bodied, dense and pretty powerful, but with impeccable balance. The acidity is not surprisingly a touch lower than in the 2014 but still adds beautiful balanced. Ends with a touch of bitterness but not disturbing. Another fascinating wine and excellent QPR... Can‘t wait to taste the leftovers tomorrow.

Impressive white CdR. Dark stray yellow, perfumed flavours of white flowers and orange peel. Full bodied and oily on the palate, good consentration, medium acidity and long, delicate finish.

Medium yellow
Very ripe nose with yellow fruit aromas, peach with a quite exotic expression
Good acity in the mouth, the freshness hits in front of the palate and goes all the way back. Meduim body with good balance and excellent length.
A fresh example of a whit rhone blend from a warm vintage, very appealing!
