  This bottle was better than the bottle I had in Feb 23.With Sunday Night Sushi - the nose is white flowers and lemon curd. The palate was peach, lemon curd, crushed flowers and vanilla. The finish was moderate to long.

  First time trying this. 30 minute open (in bottle).
  Had with lemon chicken picatta and linguine.
  
  Better with the meal than by itself. Nice bottle. Could use a bit more acid for my palatte. Qpr challenged.

  Drinking beautifully. Continued slow evolution but retains great freshness and primary fruits. Tastinf note similar to previous one:
  
  Medium lemon. Medium+ intensity nose - lemon rind, stone fruit, melon, honeysuckle, butter, toast, caramel, hazelnuts. Dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (12.5%), medium+ body, really quite rich but elegant at the same time, has a nice seem of minerality, primary fruits dominate the palate. Long finish. Outstanding. Can be drunk now but suitable for further ageing. Has the structure and concentration to develop further tertiary complexity.
