Such a great vintage at Gripa. Nose has gras, wood dust, yellow fruits, smoke, marzipan and more. Stunning. What a palate. Round and elegant with incredible purity and sap. So fresh yet super elegant. Wow, what a wine. Brilliant.

Love this vintage for this. Ripe and such a clean nose. Waxey and mineral, some iodine, saline, very precise. A bit closed. I have with will open. Palate is deep, rich and ripe with terrific cut. Very juicy and so complex with absolutely terrific mouthfeel and such precision yet force. Wow. This is drinking incredibly well. Such texture and mid palate to finish though with mineral energy and freshness.

Splendid. Elegant, quietly confident and poised. Beautiful stone fruit with a wisp of minerality.

2015 Northern Rhone Whites are sickness. Stanky nose full of a combo of minerals, yellow fruits. Clean and well put together. Palate has great energy and also opulence. Such density yet allied with great finesse. There is serious chewiness here. So mineral. A lot of material and a great structure. For all that is there this is quite light on its feet. Will age gracefully for 15+ years.
