2014 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, Vieux Donjon
"(aged in stainless steel tanks for six months): Pale yellow. Vibrant, mineral-driven aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits are joined by subtle floral and herb elements. Bright and racy on the palate, offering nervy, sharply focused lemon pith and green apple flavors and deeper notes of honey and sweet butter. The mineral note comes back emphatically on the finish, which lingers with noteworthy tenacity and lingering tanginess. No oak here. Drink 2018-2024." Josh Raynold, Vinous.com, April 2016
