  April 14, 2022 - Brought to drink at Oinoscent
  This comes from 50+yo vines of Roussanne, 50% in casks and 50% in wooden tanks, then reained on lees,, 500 cases made
  The bottle was decanted at 11:20, rebottled at 12:20, tasted for the 1st time at 12:45

  The wine shows deep but bright, crystal clear golden color, so sign of sediment, corked came out in one beautiful piece.
  The wine shows an amazing character, extrovert, ripe to overripe mango, peach, apricot, tin pineapple, honey, wax, turmeric/spice notes, fine thin oak layer with a handful smashed almonds sprinkled on top.
  In the palate, the wine shows medium body, the fruit intensity is lower compared to the nose, shows acidity and minerality, almond and honey, butter and caramel notes, long layered finish
  Outstanding quality. I don't think it would benefit from further ageing. It would be very interesting to pair this with food, but damn its so good to drink on its own!!
