Was very fresh almost to begin with. Deep golden yellow. With more air it showed more notes of dried fruit and caramel with decent amount of acid to hold it together. Though it's high alcohol began to show after some more time and lost some of its elegance.

A Pre-Birthday Dinner with the Guys (SY Kitchen, Santa Ynez Valley): Not shy even after 10+ years: intense aromatics of citrus, saline, herbs and petrol; noticeable alcohol on the nose and palate, settled some as it came up in temperature; notes of lemon curd and slate; intense minerality; very lengthy finish; vibrant, rich & world-class. Consensus WOTN.

Drank like a white burgundy. No heat at all just pure, clean fruit with a touch of minerality.
