A nice medium golden coloring when poured with an initial aroma of peach and apricot. A nice structured, integrated and smooth wine with a hint of oxidation that blew off after about 15 minutes. Very smooth but just seemed a bit off somehow, hence the lower score. Possibly on the precipice off "over the hill".

For those concerned about Girardin's use of oak, this wine has nicely integrated. No premox problems either. Color was a clear and bright golden yellow. The nose was fruity and floral, if a touch restrained. Good balance of fruits (peach and lemon) and acidity. A nuanced wine with enough of an edge to support dinner.

Not poxed, but the acidity has gone, leaving this thick, and unappetisingly sickly sweet

Somewhat soft, but ripe, rich and tangy
