  Sunday Northern Rhône Survey (San Francisco): Light ruby with fading- mature looking. Wow, really stemmy compared to the other 3 vintages. Also some citrus and olive on the nose. Medium body, elegant soil base. Leaner feel, more mineral, flavors divided between black fruit and herbal notes, and a bit of warmth. Shorter finish. It feels less integrated than the 2 younger wines, but much better in the mouth than the rather jarring initial scents suggested. I struggled with this wine.

  烤肉、橡胶、香草和紫罗兰的厚重香气为主调，搭配黑樱桃、黑李子的多汁果味。良好的酸度和挺拔结构营造出了古典美，但和入口略显轻浮、脂粉化的香气表达不太同步，这种状况在单宁质感逐渐凸显的中后期有所改善。看得出是想在原本纤细优雅的风格基础上，增加一些成熟浓郁的元素，但并非能很好的兼顾。

  A private dinner at a friend's (Amsterdam, NL): Explosive nose, flowers and bacon, silky and elegant, buttery Viognier, the gentlest of tannins, wonderful flavours. Chef d’oeuvre.

  Nice wine, lots of depth but not a lot of complexity. Hope it comes soon as it’s simple now.

  Stupendous. An utterly perfect bottle. Sweet strawberries and cream, black cherries, spicy and meaty depth, roses and violets, hint of vanilla, bursting with finesse and intensity, bright and flowing, floral Viognier aromas, light but firm tannins, amazing resonance and length. Leaves the drinker with a sense of wonder.
