Birthday dinner @ La Belle Vie. A delicious, weighty, meaty wine. Notes of honeydew melon, petrol, honey, smoke, and white flowers. Incredibly smooth and supple in the mouth. Zesty fresh fruits and bright acidity. Deliciously balanced and light on its feet. A fantastic bottle, and one of the best white Northern Rhones I've tasted in a long time. My mom said it was the best white wine she has ever had.

Light gold. Nutty, yeasty, slightly soapy melon and lemon nose. Quite rich flavours with a hint of white pepper. Oily dry finish. Excellent.

Bill's Summer Garden Offline (Vancouver, BC): No formal notes. Lemon and yeasty notes with an oily mouth feel. Medium body with solid acidity. Very good.

clear yellow/blanc. Smokey oak, lemon and melon. Lots of mineral flavour and a bit of stone. Missing a little in the middle. Fresh finish.
