Bright floral aromatic and stone fruity. Too cold to show it’s true weight but seemed younger fresher and lighter on it heels than other vintages

Beautiful wine! Lots of aromatics. Combines the richness, structure and minerality of Roussanne with the spice, acid and green apple components of Grenache Blanc, and the floral notes of Picpoul Blanc.

Very aromatic, showcasing a wide range of citrus and stone fruits, and even hint of tropical fruits such as ripe starfruit. The palate is a fine balance between richness and delicacy. Touch of crushed oyster shell on long finish. Very charming and classy.

Much more closed aromatically than the 2014, structured, but also very backward, the Roussanne tastes like a barrel sample, this will easily make old bones, needs 10+ more years of cellaring!!

Wow. I love this wine. Tastes sweet - cotton candy notes, but is dry. Low acidity.
