  Get Together (MK's home): Decanted for 1.5h then back into bottle. Now 2h after decant. Tight, very shy aromas. Palate with just ripe apples, a bit of oxidative nuttiness, lovely minerals, herbs, and a bit of wet wool. Excellent acids but yet somehow, still mellow. With more air, the wine becomes more expressive on the nose, mirroring the palate. The palate becomes more seamless and balanced as the night wore on. Excellent but clearly needs plenty of air.

  Quite rich apple fruit, hint of honey sweetness but balanced with some acidity. Unusually I think this slightly improved when it was a fraction cooler than my wine fridge.

  Plus de deux ans après la précédente, il décline définitivement. L'oxydation semble plus présente, au nez en particulier qui donne beaucoup sur la pomme très (trop) mûre, le miel ranci, tout en gardant un trame de fruits jaunes et d'argile au second plan. C'est son état actuel, et on aime malgré tout.
  La bouche demeure bien tendue, salivante, de belle longueur, intégrée et définitivement tertiaire.
  Le bouchon était en excellente condition.
  Bu sur 2 jours; meilleur le 2e jour...
  Boire sans tarder...
  Notre dernière.
  Beaucoup de plaisir en l'état!
  90-89- Perspective négative

  I have been tasting this wine every few years for nearly a decade and have always enjoyed it. But last night I was floored by its purity, its laser-like minerality and its overall perfection on the palate. The nose is inviting. This wine is in the perfect place now and hard to see it getting better

  Étonnant.
  Nez certes évolué mais la dimension oxydative que nous observions l'an dernier n'y est pas cette fois-ci.
  Une beauté sur la compote de poire et vanille, la fleur de tilleul, la paille séchée, la craie, avec une dimension comme saline, vraiment très beau.
  Et la bouche est d'un superbe équilibre...
  Nous sommes confondus ici et ne l'attendions dans cet état. Bravo! Fantastique surprise.
