  At a private dinner, Brisbane. This wine opened with a deep golden colour yet a fresh opulent nose of peach, apricot, pineapple, cinnamon butter and orange zest. The palate is truly opulent with layers of flavour balanced by toast with honey and butter and a clear mineral grip that persists beautifully. while this is no shrinking violet of a wine it is a fine expression of mature old vines Roussanne that stands up against and compliments rich dishes.

  Les Degustateurs last tasting for a dear friend (Smyth and the Loyalist Chicago, IL): While great to taste, the real experience came with the food.

  I don’t know what else to say except this is truly amazing wine! It’s got a beautiful blend of Fruit, burnt toast, brioche, soft acidity and a beautiful finish. Drink it now because it’s not gonna get any better than this.

  Early dinner gathering (Blacksalt, Washington DC): Expressive decadent nose displaying rich tropical yellow fruit, starfruit, pineapple, dry yellow peach, honey, caramel, sweet spices, lanoline, oyster shell and limestone. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of sweet yellow fruit, rich, dense, deeply toned, and oily, medium acidity, strong mineral, and a long sweet yellow fruit driven finish with sweet spices and oyster shell at the end. Although very ripe, it shows fairly good balance.
