  June 9, 2023 - Blossom, lemon, orange peel, clementine, pineapple, coconut, cedar, white chocolate. Acidity medium(+). Finish long. It kept improving throughout the evening. Beautiful blend (Marsanne and Roussanne) from the Northern Rhône.

  June 9, 2023 - Tasting evening with Bas & Lennart (Utrecht, NL): What a great wine, amazing how they’ve managed to make this beautiful Hermitage Blanc in what is considered to be a very difficult Northern Rhone year. Straw yellow, medium intensity on the nose with orange peel, lemon zest, honey, tangerine, toast, smoke, blossom, elegantly integrated oak. Medium+ acidity, medium+ flavor intensity comparable with the nose but on the palate also white chocolate. Very long finish. 93-94
  
  [Edit] on day 3 there is a great floral note added with roses, white and yellow flower, almost Condrieu like!
  
  Bottle nr 8761
  
  A beautiful wine for my 1500th CT TN!

  April 17, 2021 - Taking cues from past reviews, popped and double decanted back to bottle in AM. Initially undrinkable it was deliciously complex in time for our hors d’oeuvres, bread and salad dinner course.
