Shockingly good showing for this 11 year old $20 garagiste pickup. Barely shows it age with some nuttiness and round flavors but otherwise very fresh and great acidity.

Dinner party wine. Paired well with chawan mushi with scallops. Tough pairing but worked perfectly. Aging had kicked in but odd soured finish at first. Better with some air. Buttery and smooth. Light in the fruits and acidity.

See other notes. This is a really nice wine that improves with air in the immediate, but also over long times (not that i generally let a bottle get through the night).

A classically proportioned beauty. A bit hollow on opening but fills out with 45 - 60 minutes of air. Wish I had a lot more...
