  soft, spiced on the nose. notes of peach, grapefruit on the palate. the fruit is all de-classified ex-voto as none was made in 2008. good fruit.

  Appearance: Bright and clear, medium lemon in color, with watery rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, medium intensity and having youthful aromas of lemon, green apple, pear, honeysuckle, hawthorn, hints of green bell pepper and cream.
  Palate: Dry with medium and lively acidity, the wine has medium alcohol and medium body, showing medium intensity flavors of lemon, white pepper, grapefruit, acacia and honeysuckle, with medium (-) length.
  Conclusion: Acceptable quality mid-priced Southern Rhone white with a reasonably intense nose and complexity, the wine has a lively acidity and in balance, but without any particular outstanding characters. The palate is reasonably intense with fair complexity but the length is a bit short. Ready to drink now and not intend for further ageing.

  Wine Education Service - Guigal - King of the Rhône (LSE): Light gold.
  A light attractive perfume, a hint of age, oak, honey and citrus.
  Dry and full, well balanced, some bitterness, good length, this wine needs food.

  Some yellow and white fruits. Green apples. Clean and fresh, but nothing special. Well, for the price of $15 it is ok.

  Appearance: Clear, pale lemon colour with watery rims and legs
  Nose: Clean, medium intensity and youthful aromas of lime, green apple, pear, acacia and herbaceous notes
  Palate: Dry with medium acidity, exhibiting medium alcohol level and medium body. Medium intensity flavors of lemon, grass, honeysuckle, green apple, with a medium length finish.
  Conclusion: Acceptable quality Rhone white with reasonable intensity in both aroma and flavors, though relatively simple in its characters. Overall a reasonably lengthy finish which makes this wine a good candidate to accompany some white meat and cheese. Ready to drink now and can be maintained for another 1-2 years.
