J.L. Chave Crozes-Hermitage Blanc "Sybele"2005

Very pale yellow.

Low-toned nose of citrus and quince(?), moderately intense.

Sweet, slightly thick, textural impression in the mouth, buffered by building, spicy, chew on the sides of the mouth. Fresh apple and pear flavors. Very long, chewy, dry finish.

I assume this is Marsanne.

Day 9 - Believe it or not. Tasted at 60F. Fresh pear/apple succulent and long. This could have been opened today.
