Third of four bottles bought. The last one I opened was flawed, but this one not at all. Bright yellow on colour, and so much bread on the nose that you would expect crumbles. Still very sparkly, high on acidity, but with a strong backbone, almost woodlike, mushrooms, mature fruit and a hint of truffles. This wine has reached full adulthood, and I will drink the last bottle while Trump is still president.

Last bottle of the experiment, another 2 years on. This wine seems to have been more or less in hibernation since 2017. Fumes of gasoline more dominant now (especially on day 2), but there is still a lot of melon, honey and freshwater lilies. Surprised to see such a cheap wine keeping up appearances in such a degree. I wish I had a couple of more bottles, as this wine will continue to develop at least a few more years, and showing no signs of getting too old.

Over the top now. Still enjoyable, but freshness is declining rapidly. Drink.
