Laurent Fayolle Hermitage Blanc Les Diognieres 2018
This sensuous Hermitage Blanc is a truly exquisite wine with fabulous fruit intensity and an array of exotic fruit. Aromas of acacia flower, anise, quince, fig and pineapple intermixed with a hint of white peaches emerge from this well-delineated, full-bodied, enormously endowed, complex, dry white Hermitage. The finish is both fresh and savory, leaving us thirsty for another glass! Yum x 10 now and cellar worthy for 5 – 10 years.
