Marmalade colored. Surprisingly dark and advanced looking. On the nose a little nuttiness. On the palate lucid and refreshing. Lovely balance without acidity.

Ok but disappointing. Not much development for 12 year old white Rhône.

Pale color. Almost transparent yellow but still with a thickness and a heft. I love the Marsanne grape and its punchiness and complexity. This wine has developed nicely and is ready for prime time. Lemon and other citrus notes. Lingers and was the perfect compliment for lemon and egg tagliatelle.

18.5. Sometimes l'Oree can be a bit oxidised (for my taste), not this one. Deep and rich and long.

Marmalade in color. This has gone through loads of changes after 30 mins in glass. On the nose some sherry, the palate a quite nutty, crisp and flat. A real fruit presence yet all dry and restrained. Interesting stuff.
