SANGUIS Proprietary White 'Chinese Fortunes' 2012

This wine is an absolutely superlative and intoxicating blend of Rousanne, Marsanne, Chardonnay and Viognier. This has the kind of aromatics that makes you go back to your glass for one hedonistic whiff after another. It is drinking absolutely out of this world at this time. Following a two hour decant, this wine opens up considerably. This blend begins with aromas of lemongrass, honeydew melon, and star jasmine. This leads to flavors of lychee, red delicious apple, poached pear, nutmeg and bananas foster. This has a long and lingering finish that coats the tongue. The texture obtained from this blend is stunning. There is a botrytis like character to this exceptional viscous white blend. (Best 2016-2030) - February, 2016 (OB)
