Tasted blind. Medium gold. Heavy in the glass with aromatic and dramatic nose. Notes of lemon, peach, quince, cinnamon and other spices. Rich and round in the mouth. Full body. Guessed 95 Chave Blanc. Really stood out given the big nose this has.

Very different than other vintages I have tasted. The nose yields scents of stone fruit and hints of banana. The palate is infused with baked apples and nuts. Lacks the heaviness that I often find in white Hermitage.

1997 vintage. Very evolved and rich. An acquired taste.
