Deliciously phenolic and full of character from its oxidative upbringing and bottle age. More gras and texture than precision and lift. Golden yellow orchard fruits, a touch of something tropical like pineapple, slightly bruised, beeswax, lanolin, tea leaves, green almonds, herbs. Theres some really nice “sweet” tones to the wine; carmel, cinnamon, honey that I really enjoyed. Slightly challenging at first but rewarding with contemplation, really lets you peel back the layers with air and temperature increase. Would think this would really come around and freshen up at the 10-12 year mark like most Rhône whites do. 50 ROUS 24 MAR 10 GRBL 8 CLA 8 CH
