An interesting wine which I found strange at first, but liked it more and more over time. Yellow straw in color. Floral and mineral elements on the nose with initial petrol notes which dissipated over time. Lots of minerals on the palate with a touch of lemon.

The white pepper on this wine really is the center player. The wine was decanted several hours before the meal and it retained this disctinctive note. Spice cake, plum, I enjoyed this a lot.

(Chateau de Fonsalette Cotes-du-Rhone Blanc) This was a barnburner. It was a loud whine that screamed in your ear. Explosive waxey tropical flavors that coated the palate and just hung around. Very nutty with lovely acidity. Fat like a Southern Rhone white should be but still acidic and poised.

Full bodied and textured with honey and citrus, gardenia aromas and flavors. Rich and elegant.

Subtle notes of honeysuckle and pineapples. Perfectly pleasant, but perhaps a tad too simple.
