1970

Fabulous 1970- clear tawny, clean nose of cedar, tobacco, pepper and a hint of dried black fruit. Still well balanced with soft tannins, nice acidity, and a complex finish. This wine has aged well.

Domaine les Aphillanthes

This is a very nice southern Rhone white blend which I would strongly recommend for those who like Viognier. It would be great with a white meat, but I find it good with cheese and a baguette too!

The producer has a nice range of wines, some of which I have tasted and all of which I have enjoyed.
