October 26, 2018 - No spritz with this on but stewed and tinned green veggies abound on the nose. Some nettles too. Palate in decent shape and vigorous but the stewed note remains offputting.

February 5, 2018 - Much cleaner than the first bottle and no spritz here though some gas escaped on opening. Like a toned down version of younger vintage of itself - no bad thing at all.

January 26, 2018 - 1/6. Of course it's getting on, but I am not enjoying it;s trajectory on the basis on this bottle. Dominant tinned peas and overripe asparagus on the nose. Slightly stewed palate.
