Pale yellow; the nose is reserved, but elegant, has an air of cooked lime, mandarin, gun flint. The palate is light for a Hermitage blanc, is fashionably tense etc, its maker hankering after the North; it has a floral presence, white fruits led by apricot with peach stone, then a touch of late grip, tang. The aftertaste is nutty, shows citrus, vanilla. This carries some inner strength, as it should. I can see it gaining some weight. 14°.
