Without doubt the best white I've had from southern Rhone. Perfectly balanced, concentrated, fresh...

Tropical fruit, pear and minerality on the nose. The taste is very nicely balanced. It will last at least a decade from now, but I think optimum drinking time is in a few years. The wine is still very, very fresh.

This wine has matured in a great way. When I first tried it a few years ago I was disappointed, but now it's starting to show it's potential. Pairs PERFECTLY with gorgonzola.

This is a great wine. Very well balanced, tannins are just starting to soften. Estimated peak around 2013.

More powerful than the 2006. This wine should stay in the cellar for at least 5 years, probably longer. The wine is balanced, but the tannins are just too powerful.

Dark and purple, still very young. A truly great wine with nice fruit, complex acidity and stunning finish packed with chocolate and licorice. The wine is already balanced but will for sure benefit from a few more years in the cellar. I think it will peak in 5-10 years from now.
