Going against the grain here. My bottle was absolutely delightful with patience. On opening and refrigerator temp, it was very thin and bitter (89 pts). Over the course of the evening, it began to open up tremendously as it got air and warmed up. Tremendous citrus sprang forth. Lots of lime, lime leaf, kafir lime, Meyer lemon creme brulee. Definitely some blossoms came through as well. The cork was perfect, and it was a full shoulder. Very subtle ox. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Should have been drunk 5 years ago. Still good but is clearly over the top

The very embodiment of creme brulee crust. Sadly with light oxidation, apple-driven. DQed.
