Not decanted, half a glass poured off upon opening about 1 hour before serving with dinner. Consumed over ~1 1/2 hours at cool room temp. A nice balance of freshness and creamy heft, showing mostly lemon, white peach, and floral notes, with a slightly honeyed character on the nose which didn't show very much on the palate. Moderately complex and youthful, with enough acid to be lively, but with just a little heat or volatility showing on the finish.
Drinking quite well now and should continue to over the next couple of years...I don't have enough experience with aged white Rhones to speculate on how it may evolve after that.

Excellent mid-palate. A bit surprised by the lemon. Buy again
