Vacation Wines (Loire, Rhône, Jura) (Chez M.): Pale yellow. In the nose, this is a bit flashy with exotic notes, something bitter, lots of wax and some elderflower sirup. It smells a little generic of "white wine". On the palate, it's very dry, quite bitter, there are lots of white flowers, but no perceivable acidity. Slightly watery, very simple. Dumb phase or not much there?

Typical Northern Rhône white although somewhat understated. I had expected a little more. Drink now - 2011

Northern Rhone Visit, May 2009; 5/14/2009-5/17/2009 (Condrieu, Ampuis, Cornas, Tain -- France): Tasted at the Domaine -- Just bottled. A decent value white, with some nice white floral notes. But I got an alkalinity and this "crushed Flintstones vitamins" that I get in Rhone whites sometimes that I am not sure I am crazy about.
