Very good. Reductive (decant), deep, resonant, quite vital and fruit filled still. A lot of bass nutty notes here. Think his wines even better these last few years but interesting to taste from this era.

Lost track of a couple of these in the back of the cellar. Still showing good mineral character but the fruit is a couple of years past its peak. Got less interesting as it was open longer.

The nose has sea air, minerals and hints of lemons. Crisp and dry. This lacks some of the complexities of say Huet in 02 or Chidaine in 05, but is still a very good wine. It has a great balance with excellent crispness. Long finish.

Very tight, almost completely closed. @ 2 hours it starts to open a little with a delicate, honeyed nose, some yellow fruit and quince. Nice balance of sugar and acidity. Hold or give a long decant right now.

bright acidity, notes of honey, flowers and lemon. somewhere in midlife. not a lot of complexity but nice -a bit short on the finish. can drink now or hold, though I'm not sure how much better it will get with age.
