(at Decanter's August 2017 issue Southern Rhône whites Panel Tasting, 08 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
This is a wine with stone fruit, hints of almond essence quince and fennel. Full bodied and oily, the palate is reminiscent of nougat and hints of tobacco. The saline finish makes it very enjoyable.
