Friday, May 20, 2016 - Appearance: Bright and clear, it has light lemon color, with wide watery rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit such as pear and quince, floral notes of honeysuckle and rose, mineral notes of stone, maturity notes of honey. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium (-) acidity, the wine has medium alcohol, medium body and medium (+) intensity flavors of green fruit such as pear, oak notes of vanilla and cream, floral notes of honeysuckle, mineral notes of stone. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Rhone white from Hermitage, the wine has a reasonably intense nose showing good complexity, with a rich and well-structured palate of good concentration. Though still early in the development stage, the wine has a good finish, is ready to drink but would benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years.
