Really didn't like it until I was about to throw it out three days later. Day one - meh. Day three - wow!

A pale yellow with slight green tinge this wine has a honey citrus nose. Round on the palate and suspended from a slightly mineral frame, an almost Marsanne-like quality. A blend of Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, and Macabeu/Macabeo.

This one just doesn't do much for me. The nose is closed and on the palate I taste sweet plum and cherry fruit coupled with big tannins.

Blackberry, blueberry and minerals. Solid after decanting for 75+ minutes. I'd recommend serving slightly chilled. Solid bottle all around, great price.

2012 vintage - lemon curd and tropical fruits. Very viscous mouthfeel, but not very complex.
