  May 5, 2024 - Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Obelix - Chicago IL): In contrast to the 2003 getting tired, this isn't even close to ready and not yet fully enjoyable. Rich and dense, but clearly reserved and coiled with taut structure. Nicely floral start with good richness certainly bode well, and I expect 93+ point potential, 2028 forward.

  May 1, 2024 - Decanted 1 hours, drank a couple of glasses over the 2 hours after that.
  
  Nose of lemon, vanilla, guava, orange blossoms.
  
  On the palate, meyer lemons, honey, white peaches, lemon pith into a finish of crushed rocks, salinity, light spices, lemon cream. Medium long finish. The pith bitterness seems to be driving the core of the palate and it wasn't super pleasant.
  
  Saved the rest for the next evening (24h+). The pithiness rounded out and was much more balanced and pleasant.

  March 1, 2024 - Dripping with golden honey, the 18 MdT is impressive. Ripened, concentrated, full of flavor. Initially kind of soft and plush, but with air, the acidity kind of peeks out. For an 18, it’s chiseled, but there are some marshmallow notes that work their way in with oxidation such that I do think this is an early drinking vintage. Delicious and worthy of a splurge.

  March 1, 2024 - Had a couple of small pours. Laser focused, but accessible, with a mix of white fruit and hints of golden chardonnay notes. Quite stone driven. narrow palate, but quite light and no hints of the warm vintage. Surprisingly persistent finish for such a ethereal mid-weight wine. Hard to put down.

  March 1, 2024 - Kräftiges Gelb. In der Nase mit subtilem, mineralischem Duftbild, Kreide, weisse Blüten, Zitrusfrüchte, Melisse, Tannenschössli, Akazienhonig, Sommerwiese, super komplex. Im Gaumen mit Druck und Schmelz, viel Kraft, top Eleganz, sehr salzig, feine Säure. Im Abgang ausgewogen und wunderbar lang, wow, grosses Chablis-Kino.
