Thursday, December 24, 2015 - Best bottle of this so far. Standout highlight of the whole festive period.

Lively yet elegant mousse, and a great rounded nose. It has hints of the house bread/yeast, but with a lovely reserved fruitiness (principally citrus) with maybe a touch more age-related things in the background starting to push through.

45 second lingering finish was a joy to behold. We both were literally silent for the time and then looked at each other and blurted out the same thing.

Clearly its showing a little age, being a little leaner and more citrusy - but not in a biting, acidic way, in a really refreshing mouthwatering way.

Went perfectly with a decadent seafood platter of fresh crab, lobster, baby squid. mackerel, mussels and prawns.

Just to add to the discussion below, I feel this wine is improving over its lifespan and just hitting it's stride, with room yet for further ageing. Vive la difference!
