Needs to be served at 15-16C to bring out the freshness and the aroma. Attractive nose, aromatic, ripe but not stewed fruit, not too alcoholic, good depth; medium weight, nice balance, slight dry edge to the tannins; relatively short finish, lacks some length. A perfectly acceptable performance in this difficult vintage but certainly not great. Drink up.

Identical to my previous note. Quite a delicious aperitif.

Good minerality and a nice Marsanne flavour but seems to lack a bit of tension and excitement - duller than it should be.
