Last bottle of a case enjoyed over five years. A beautiful and balanced blend of five Rhone grapes with stunning experiences. full bodied and still improving. Was always a surprise. The wine opens beautifully with air, and is seemingly never ending. A careful blend with enjoyable complexities, especially for palates loving a big rhone style white wine. I love white Burgundies, but this wine opens doors to many other present surprises. Highly recommended.

This wine now just coming ready. Whatever you thought of it before, change your mind. Opens now nicely with an earthy, forward nose after one hour. Color deep and purple, right thru to the edges. A real tooth stained. Aged forest berries, deep complexities, but a wine now with real harmony and maturity. Anything but fitness. An ideal accompaniment for a grand roast bee dinnerf, or more causality, steaks off the Bar B. Lucky to have a case left. Some corks did not hold. Highly recommended if you can find it.
