(Sadie Family Palladius) #1b; COLOR-medium golden; NOSE-this is wild; very interesting; a wild blend of melted down Ricola candy, mint, graininess & pears; also has grassy & smokey components; TASTE-this wine is RiDONKulous; complete explosion & palate takeover; this completely coats the palate; gorgeous bright & intense yellow fruit flavors (pears, papayas, lemons); little basil leaf action; creaminess; vanilla FOR DAYS on the back-end; custard, whipped cream; very creamy in it's approach, while still being fresh & fruity; nice solid balance between the fruit & acidity; this is a monstrous white wine; an imaginary blend of a White Bordeaux & CdP Blanc; it explodes for days; I like this wine a lot; starts creamy, then acidic, then creamy again; this is extraordinary; this will easily last for 10 years; an absolute eye-opener; WS-92; GV-93

Drink up, this is showing well, but has started to taste just a touch oxidised.

Consistent with previous notes - lots of richness - with more bottle age the flavours have mellowed - lovely

honeyed and unctuous very distinguished offering - will not appeal to everyone but this is definitely one of SA's best Rhone whites

Really nice Rhone clone. Intense honey and herbs on nose. Thick and chewy on the palate- a white wine for red wine drinkers. Special stuff, wish I had more
