Always brilliant. And a useful reminder that balance can be achieved even without acid.

Horseradish and herbs. White smoke. Some fruit is there, sweet water and pear. Touch of pithy bitterness, but less than I expected. Absolutely mind bending

Amazing texture and concentration. Loved this wine but at $279 I would rather buy white Burgundy.

Hermitage Blanc is a powerhouse. Even the 2010 felt like a baby. Chave is king.

White Rhone flight was very fun and so different than the Chardonnay based wines.
