The Blanc. My first time with this wine, a little fatty in '09 and a lot with the oak, but the grapes acids keep it together. Tropical, similar to BDX Blanc, with less green. Generally for it, but need to try some more vintages.

My bottle was quite old and had caramelized, turning orange, but it still had some nice notes of honey and pear. Likely a good wine, but I wish I could have tasted the intended flavors.

Glue-y nose a bit like an Hermitage blanc, broad palate, still very firm acids-- splendid with a fatty pork chop. Also great with live jazz.
