  20 years young, this probably tastes fresher than most recent vintage white Rhones. No real signs of age. Round, but restrained on the palate with white fruits and florals dominating. Fresh acidity and good length. I definitely need to find more wines like this one.

  I opened this at a Chateauneuf du Pape tasting at our wine storage and it was the hit of the night. It was a month ago and unfortunately I didn't keep notes, what I can remember is it had an incredibly rich, deep gold color, the taste was very rich and had a lingering finish. The flavors were incredibly interesting, I remember it had a little something strange going on but that was greatly overshadowed by it's good traits, it could also have been my inexperience with this style wine, who knows. Either way, I absolutely loved it.
