Probably at its peak, as I can't see this wine getting any better. Classic Roussanne, with it's full body and slight oxidative style. Bright gold in coulour, and quite thick, the wine had decent aromatics of pear skin, honeysuckle and jasmine. A tihick and rich texture, the palette delivered what the nose promised. Fairly long finish, and no heat at all.

Impressive, this was in a good place. Aromatic honeyed, peaches and cream, rich but with enough acidity to balance. This was a surprise, much better than anticipated.

Golden color - deeper than expected/remembered. Floral nose with wet stone. Rich mouthfeel, moderate fruit, slightly under-acid - slightly flabby. A med-long finish with a bit of honey. Needs food! Overall, a very nice wine.
