2020 Costieres de Nimes Vielles Vignes Rhone White (91-points)
Description
The gorgeous bouquet is simultaneously crystalline and pungent with ripe honeysuckle and acacia flowers adorning a generous core of quince, apricot and pineapple with subtle notes of river rock. Rich on entry with excellent succosite, perfectly-ripe apricot is supported by chalky-minerality punctuated with a crisp finish of honeyed mandarin and allspice. Ripe but never cloying, the finish has huge length and persistence. Fantastic!
