Superb aged Paso Roussanne. Deep gold color, beautiful strong nose of pear, melon, mildly citrusy. But the flavor! Intense pear, honey maybe white peach with a mineral and nutty component. Super smooth, oily viscosity and long lush finish. Ive got another bottle and will hold it another year but probably will last 2 more. Start drinking now.

From opening through to 90 minutes later alcohol remains the dominant note. The color is a lovely straw and there is nothing off but the alcohol levels give it a diluted and astringent character that detracts from the rather lovely aged Roussance flavors of honeysuckle and quince and creme brulee.

Drank a week ago with no notes, which is too bad, because this surprised to the upside. Even though it'd been stored closer to 65F for 6 years it was not over the hill, it still showed some vibrancy and some floral honey notes and the intrinsic richness had enough acid against it and flinty character, medium finish. Very good.

Just bought from K&L, and in a great place. No heat or any oxidized character to speak of. Vanilla bean, eggnog, persimmon.

Lovely smooth and elegant wine. Still very much alive, but coming to its end...
