  Opened five hours in advance and drunk over dinner with friends; no formal TN. Finished the bottle three days later.
  Pure, lean, autumnal and delicious. With time in the glass it put a bit of flesh on and after about two hours it was at its best, showing still good fruit.
  Best on day one.
  Noble and very fine.

  Very mineral and razor sharp; the first impression is almost shocking. Behind this the purity and quality are clear - it has a precision and definition, giving it a steely core to counterpoint the surface prettiness. Then there is the persistence of the finish, long and delicate and softly spiced. Impressive. exc.
