Colombier, Hermitage Blanc Vintage:2012 Tasted in Wiesbaden in AugustLight, bright straw yellow. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes pear and peach nectar, honey, vanilla, toasted almond and smoky minerals.

Finishes chewy, focused and long, with lingering pear, honey notes and a hint of anise. Josh Raynolds
