Medium gold-hued, it offers fabulous purity in its ripe peach, orange blossom, minty herb, and subtle mineral-laced aromatics. It's medium-bodied, with a beautifully textured mouthfeel that has nicely integrated acidity, a balanced, layered profile, and outstanding length. This is well worth a case purchase and will keep for 15-20 years in cold cellars. Drink 2025-2045.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck, 94 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis powerful, full-bodied white Chateauneuf shows a wide spectrum of stone fruit, citrus and wild herb aromas. I love the balance of restrained creaminess from maturation on the lees with the elegant structure and animating freshness, the latter accentuate by a touch of bitterness in the long, quite firm finish. From organically grown grapes.
