  March 14, 2016 - Au nez, du pétrole intense. Belle acidité, petit creux en milieu de bouche mais longueur intéressante, il est encore plaisant.

  September 3, 2015 - Fully developed nose, mushroom and oxidised. Palate is high acid, relatively short finish, mushroom, waxy, cooked lemon.
  Too old, past optimal drinking window.
