    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A glorious 100% percent barrel-fermented Marsanne that is every bit as good as the 2005, stylistically it is a little finer with more precision and focus, displaying juicy, glistening flavours of greengage skin, cream, white peach, acacia honey, with a haunting freshness and elegance on the long finish.

    Josh Raynolds,
    Vinous
    Light gold color. Strikingly complex, sexy bouquet of pear, floral honey, sweet butter, anise, toasted grain and smoky minerals; reminds me of a top-notch Meursault. Very rich, with creamy orchard fruit flavors supported by a firm underpinning of minerals. The anise note gains power on the finish, which strongly echoes the honey, anise and mineral qualities. You could enjoy this immensely right now but I'd defer opening mine for at least another decade or more. Anything else would be vinfanticide.
