  (100% Marsanne, 13.5% Alkohol) Gereiftes Gelb, weisse Ränder. Intensive Nase, Lavendelhonig, Salbeiblüten, reife Birne, Quitten, Sanddorn, sehr komplex. Im Gaumen reichhaltig, rund, milde Säure, cremige Textur, der Wein zeigt Druck und Kraft, wirkt kompakt, balanciert, baut im Gaumen aus, hallt sehr, sehr lange nach, hinterlässt Quitte und Mirabellen. Ein faszinierender Wein, auf dem Peak. Trinken.

  PNP, deep gold, toasty apricot, unctuous, long finish; outstanding & definitely in its mature form & ready to drink. This is the 1st time I have one this mature & although I very much liked it, I like the younger, fresher phase better

  Wow! Golden color and holding up great- years of life ahead -with king crab legs a match made in heaven! Marsanne grape. Not sure if I love these or Jean Louis Chave’s more- spectacular and perfect now but likely a decade of peak time left. I got apricot and peach flavors on a luscious background- taste just goes forever after a sip.

  My friend loved this, but white northern Rhone is not my thing. This is thick, intense, honeydripping and quite a mouthful. How to end a bottle of this? I could not even have a full glass of this.
  My score is personal and does not reflect an objective rating.

  Drinking well. Rich, oily, broad, with that nutty, fat M/R character. Heritage Wine Blind Tasting Challenge Finals at Jean-George Las Vegas
