Clearly(due to color and taste) this wine is oxidized. I have not had another to determine if this is a victim of premox, or the wine is consistent with other bottles(although I have 5 bottles left). Based on other recent reviews, this wine may typically be found in this condition. My impressions were that the wine lacked acid, but went OK with the heavy food(although it lacked the ability to hold its own with the food). Apricot, butterscotch, honeysuckle, and grilled pineapple, etc. were all present characteristics of this wine. I don't see any upside to this wine, based on this bottle.

Rousseau dinner at Jade Palace: Rich, aromatic white with zero acidity. Textbook white northern Rhone (not a good thing). Too much butterscotch and honey notes for me.

Drinking excellently, unfortunately my last bottle. Lots of tree/tropical fruits on the nose and a mellow, rich butterscotch on the palate, smooth but weighty. Not sure this will hold at this level for much longer - drink up!

One bottle was crisp and refreshing with some mellow age showing very well. Second bottle was more developed and showing tired. First bottle an A- but drink now.

Golden colour with gorgeous aromas of apricot and flowers with generous, ripe stone fruits, white pepper, lime citrus and power.. Had mixed experiences of this wine over thie years but this is really good after 10 years.
