  Muted nose, some apple fruit and interest from stony notes on the palate, retaining some acidity and freshness, but definitely needs drinking. Probably slightly over the hill at this point to be honest.
  
  Addendum 07 Jan 18- second half of the bottle drunk a day and a half later: More open, more apple and citrus fruit apparent on the palate, better balance and generally much more enjoyable drinking. First time aerated only in slightly larger glasses and given some time (label recommends decanting), but would follow the advice and decant to open it up quicker. There’s life in the old dog yet! Still recommend drinking soon.

  Second bottle of this wine. Similar to first note, but everything felt dialed down a notch, a bit less character and interest in this bottle. Hence would grade this one 88. On the evidence of these two bottles would think it is time to drink up.

  Clea and pure. Exotic nose, mangoes and pineapple. Lively acidity, sweet grapefruit zest and orange peel on the palate. Very fresh. Lasting citrus confit acidity with the accompanying bitterness. Long after taste. Not heavy nor deep but one of the best Southern French white wines I have tasted. Best chilled.

  Very nice wine. Subtle, well balanced in every way. Discrete nose, mostly minerals. Ever so slight pearling effect on the tongue. Palate a nice mix of minerals and fruit, mostly apple. Easy drinker, while still with complexity to keep things interesting. Enjoyed it a lot.

  Nice with a grilled halibut. I do think it might be just past its prime at this point. Drink up!
