The nose is so refined as it should be as this is the most refined producer of St. Peray. The elegance is what stands out here and the classiness. Nose has some gras, rich fruits but is so gorgeously floral and granitic. Yellow creamed corn (garmanbozia?) as well. Palate is just so refined. Palate is elegant and grinds you down in the best way with the hardcore grind house roussane minerally. Juicy and so classy. Palate staining length. Shows the richness of the vintage but is perfectly bisected by the Tunnel St. Peray style. So focused. Needs air. But a promising start.
