Estimate
...nose of honeyed quince, acacia flowers, buttered pears, chalky minerality, spice, and licorice. The purity is off the charts, and it has full-bodied richness, a deep, plush, opulent mouthfeel, perfect balance, and a great, great finish.
Very striking nose of toasted almonds and pistachio nuts that’s still full of youthful energy, even if the stone-fruit character (mostly mirabelle) is discreet. So much underplayed power and beautiful candied-orange character on the ample yet precisely delineated palate.
...white peach, yellow apple, quinine, honeysuckle and verbena notes stretching out together through a finish that sports a light kiss of brioche at the very end.
...medium to full-bodied, full of notes of ripe melon and pear, with a long, citrusy and briny finish...
Really fragrant: pear, almond and honeysuckle. Full, powerful and grainy on the palate. Classic white Hermitage with richness but also freshness that comes from anywhere but acidity. Firm, chewy, lovely.
