2017 enjoyed 10/7/2023. nose: caramelized pineapple, wavering between oxidative and candied. wiffs of fresh floral pass quickly, stony/mineral undertone. palate: medium body, oily viscosity, high acid and mineral leave my tongue tingling. gorgeous. glad that I opened.

Coconut nose. Honey and papaya, rich but not over the top. The salty mineral body frames the opulence of the wine. A big notch above the bottle of 2016 I had earlier this year.

The weekend upon us and we're hosting another dinner party for a couple of friends. Tonight's theme was Rhone wine, so good stuff on deck, with age (mostly).
Couldn't get to notes; Entertaining guests first 😉.
Paired with Scallops in Nantua sauce, perfect.
