Lovely mature Roussanne. Looks like a mature sherry in the glass but definitely not over the hill or oxidised on the nose or palate. Chilled to around 8 degrees and enjoyed by everyone at lunch.

Un peu trop avancé en âge mais bien plaisant pour qui aime les fruits très mûrs. Boire bien frais pour "casser" un peu la tendance liquoreuse que l'âge lui procure.

Much more evolved on the nose, but the palate is still pretty slamming. Orange rind, frost, honey comb. Not quite as wooly as the 2005 Tablas Esprit Blanc. Silkier texture.

ESTG does Southern Rhone and Provence (Seattle, WA, USA): Deep color. By all accounts this was likely oxidized, but I appreciated how nutty and round it was on the palate. Mature Roussane.
