  Wow, five years since my first bottle? Still drinking well though I don’t see this aging further, notes unchanged.

  Very impressed - this has excellent balance and restraint that is sometimes hard to find in the Rhone valley with these varietals. Would seek again!

  Very nice, but a bit subdued. Probably on it’s decline, but still very enjoyable.
  
  Nose: waxy citrus, pretty light on the nose but gave more as it approached room temp
  
  Palate: underripe apricot, guava, touch of oxidation (honeysuckle, nuttiness, etc.)
  
  Medium acidity. Medium body.

  Most likely on the downside of its life. As I've had this wine across various vintages and time periods, I know what I should get on the nose and palate and both were just a little flat and muted. Lemon, honeysuckle and tropical fruit; slightly waxy mouthfeel; little bit of acid; still enjoyable just not what it once was; drink closer to cool/room temp rather than cold.

  Not bad, with some lemony and woody flavors, and medium body; but like most California white Rhones, it could use a bit more acid.
