Très jolie bouteille, bel équilibre, bonne longueur. En particulier, l'emprise du bois qui m'avait gênée sur un millésime plus récent n'est absolument pas perceptible ici. On peut racheter.

Metallic gold. Dusty, complex, sweet tropical fruit nose. Very rich and full with bracing acidity to match. Lemon custard, lime, sugary but a nice bitter edge. Long finish. Delicious stuff. Drinking perfectly. Day 2 update; has lost some of the perfume and richness, lemony tartness more prominent. Still good but had declined with air.

pale gold w/green glint; honeyed beeswax, peach skin, tropical spice; med+ body, w/evident glycerin; lemon curd, honey, lanolin, vanilla; oak seems better integrated than last bottle; acidity has softened; probably more near term for remaining bottles
chicken wings in "angry sauce"; fresh fig salad w/tomato, roasted Italian peppers, beans & arugula

Big powerful honeyed nose, full and rich with a little hint of minerals. Lovely fresh style, the honeyed stone fruits fruit balanced by the zippy citrus acidity. Very nice.

Really huge acidity but plenty of depth to stand up to it. Citrus, light honey, bit of waxieness. Fine length. Great food wine.
