  Magnum: Golden yellow. A: lots of spices, clove and baking spices, vanilla, all overshadow some yellow plum. F: more about texture than any particular flavors, it is oily, waxy, creamy, a bit of that vanilla and spice, some tropical fruit. So close to being too fat... then a solid kick of freshness in the finish, and it’s back for another sip. Has its merits chilled and cellar temp.
  
  No rush from my perspective, but also seems to be drinking quite well. Oh well, my only bottle is gone anyway!

  Harmonious and mature, showed best on the warm side after a decant. Silky gold, brilliant with halibut. Drink now-??

  Peaches, minerals with a hint of petrol give the wine a rich midpalate with lanolin texture while the finish remains crisp.

  My first Roussanne so can't give a rating - On day one I hated it, weird smell, weird taste and oily, never had anything like it. Day 2 and 3 I really started liking it, just took getting used to it. I get the herbal tea thing. Very curious how this fares against others, as I always like the Copains. Looking over what I just wrote it seems like I'm talking about something entirely different than wine.
