  Big and custardy. Individual fruit notes seemed to be locked into the richness. I’ve read from several sources that marsanne/ rousanne-based wines enter a dumb phase about four years from harvest and emerge with renewed vitality ten years thereafter. Even this producer’s website seems to hint at that. Unfortunately, I’ve never had a 15-year old white Rhône wine, so I can’t say.

  Tasted non blind.
  
  Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of peach, lemon and Granny Smith apples. Flavors of kumquat, apricot and minerals. Medium acidity, medium body. Drink or hold.

  Stone fruit and honey dew melon in the early stages of ripeness. Well-made.
