Impressive prototypical Marsanne. Soft and supple on the palate without being oily, lush apricots behind initial oxidative notes. Mulling spices, spiced pear perfect winter white.Virtually indestructible.

Golden yellow and very honeyed. Strong honeycomb flavor. A little sweetness, oatmeal, golden liquer. Salty minerals and a satiny texture. Almost like a dessert wine. No worse for wear after 16 years but not enough acid, a little stodgy.

Amazing, great sapidity, still young. Had it with local mountain cheeses, it made my day!
