At first, the cork crumbled to dust and there was no way pulling it out without making a mess. And then, the anxiety of whether the wine had been spoiled.... ah, no! This has now reached near perfection but it is a rose that will wither within a heartbeat. I guess it is that feeling of urgency that perhaps contributed to making this that precious?
There is still some acidity at the edges , some ripe fruits, pleasant and round bitterness, as well as growing tertiary aromas but that have not yet taken over the wine’s opulence. Wish I had more....

Another CHL Wine Night!: Definitely showing Rhone blanc notes - expressive on the nose but rather lacking on the palate. Likely past its prime.

honeysuckle and gravel...just what you'd expect for a Southern Rhone

It was with some anxiety this was opened - how would it be? It was brilliant, creamy, dense, bees wax, minerals with and underlying sweet, almost playful sourthern fruit. Brilliant result in this warm vintage. Interesting to taste vis-a-vis the 2014.
