Beating the heat with Whites and Bubbles (Mott St., Chicago IL): Nose: There is a larger and richer quality to the nose with lychees, peaches, apricots, white pepper, some snow peas, and a touch of cream notes. Though there is a richness to it, it is far from overdone and is extremely balanced.
Taste: Full bodied with medium acidity. The palate shows the larger side, but it is far from too big with lychees, peaches, white pepper, snow peas, and some creams.
Overall: This took a slight bit to unwind, but it was extremely good once it did. The warmth of the vintage played into this, but it more dictated style than anything else. This has aged extremely well and is providing a lot of joy.

Occasional tasting group: Extensive Southern Rhône tasting with some extra's. (@ PVa): Complex, very pure/clean. Elegant. Pleasant citrus and some soft tropical fruits. Great wine.
