Tasting notes

Lightly golden colour. Fruity and complex nose. Showing honey, lemon-curd, smoke and some flowers. In the mouth this is a fullbodied and typical marsanne. Quite heavy with good concentration. Fruit showing much less than on the nose. More closed. Some smoke. Needs a little more time. Dry with decent acidity and length. Very good wine for the price. Try again in 3-4 years.

Yellow colour. Unoaked and pure Marsanne on the nose with hints of wax and some tropical fruits. Mineral and smokey. Fullbodied wine in the mouth with some fatness. Wax in the fruit. Quite ripe with some tropical elements, but balanced. Some flowers. Medium acidity. Dry and long taste. A good wine. This bottle seems perhaps more closed than the previous I tried. Will last a long time. Great wine for the price.

Yellow, lightly greenish colour. Complex noe. Quite ripe fruits with hint of exotic notes, typical Marsanne-notes of anise, paint and some minerality. Fullbodied and pure Marsanne in the mouth. Again a little exotic notes. Quite complex wine with evolved notes. Anise, paint, minerality. Very little oak obvious. Medium acids and length. A very nice little wine. Drinking well now, but will last.
