October 3, 2019 - Drinks like a Marsanne. Bruised fruit, zero acidity.

January 8, 2019 - Masterclass. Bruised fruit aromas. Palate is flat, really lacks balance.

August 5, 2018 - This is emblematic of what went wrong in '03. The concentration and depth is here in spades, but this is fairly overripe and flabby, and it's hard to envision drinking more than one glass of it.

July 31, 2018 - A fresher and lighter bottle than the last, also from the Wolfgang sale. Certainly still ripe and round but with elegant mineral and mild reduction. A real minty note coming through more in the style of Ramonet. Pleasant vanilla spice.
