I’m writing this around one week after consuming it. Exceptional wine. Yellow to pale gold, with a slightly muted nose that is more generous as the wine aerates and comes up in temperature. On the palate, very rich without being fat. Roussanne squared.

Pronounced but resolved lip-smacking tannins when first opened, matched by fruit which is still very fresh. Acidity is neutral. Tannins softened steadily over 24 hours. By the end of the bottle on day two, it had completed its journey from interest-wine to comfort wine. Very balanced, very nice wine, versatile with food. We had a slight chill on it.

Nice for the price, as always; and as always, expertly made. Still, a little bit of a clunker, even though I like fuller whites. This is personal preference and nothing more; in fact personal preference TODAY, which is ever changeable.
