Guigal, Hermitage Blanc 1999

Gold/slight copper.

A bit odd on the nose - which might be expected - spun/caramelized sugar, candied pineapple, aldehydes, almond extract nuance.

Deep, extremely, in the mouth. Mineral/phenolic edge, subtle, keeps things lively. Very ripe pineapple flavor runs the distance.

$50
