Big, sweet and rich. Full bodied, unctuous mouthfeel. Ripe yellow peach, hints of molasses and vanilla. Long, with some complexity. Drinking well now, still primary, no caramel. Will become more tertiary going forward.

Really excellent tonight almost immediately after opening with lots of rich, decadent, green and yellow orchard fruit, baking spice and marzipan undertones and just enough acidity to keep the long finish bright and lively. There’s plenty of depth and concentration here. Delicious!!

This was exceptional tonight with rich, decadent, unctuous, green and tropical fruit, honey suckle, lots of baking spice and a firm minerality at its core. This is a big, rich wine that was drinking well almost immediately after opening.

Chapoutier Whites: Tonight this was beautiful with lots of rich, unctuous stone fruit flavors along with white flowers, baking spice and a firm minerally core. There's also a fairly prominent oak presence. All in all, quite delicious, but almost painfully young.
