God I love Rhône whites, especially when they are this good! Floral, stone fruits, wax and honey awesomeness!

This white wine needs a long decant, but once it is open long enough, it is a lovely but powerful wine. Strong cream flavor dominates this wine. It is quite powerful for a white wine, making it almost like a red wine in power. Some might find it’s strong aromatics too overwhelming, but I love these powerhouse whites.
