Soapy at open. Was a little flat then about 30 mins in the aromatics took over and it began to show some body.

Apparently March 12 is a little-known holiday called Roussanne and Stogies. Who knew? Anyway, I don’t smoke but I definitely do roussannes. The 2014 Alban is drinking incredibly well right now. Rich, deep golden yellow color, aromas of white flowers and honeysuckle with a hint of petrol on the edge, the wine is rich, oily, and seamless on the palate with a nice, lingering finish. First rate.

Faint floral nose. Viscous mouthfeel followed by fat rich mellowness (best I can do) and a ripe pear peel finish.
