  Pop and pour. Still a touch primary, but very much at peak. The slightest hint of reduction still, but it works very well now as everything is well-integrated. On the nose: soft game, toasty hazelnut, lemon, and vanilla. On the palate: good acidity, wet stone, confit peppercorn*, vanilla cream. A touch short on the stony finish, but solid.
  
  * If you've never tried it before, then cook some pink peppercorns in a simple syrup for a while. I had it on panna cotta once and it was a revelation. When you eat one, you get a sweetness and peppery burst that's singularly good.

  Pop and pour. Notes from 20 min open. After reading all the notes for this wine, I was really worried this was going to be poxed, so I had to open one to check. This bottle is in fine shape. Some struck match reduction on the nose to start...too intense to be "noble", then lovely dense lemon, sour apple, evident oak..still entirely primary. On the palate, the oak seems a bit overdone with nice acidity, competing with what seems to me to be a woody bitterness...lime, sour apple, good density and a slightly bitter finish.

  Just wonderful again. Not a hint of premox, with very good structure and balance. Notes of white flower, with gorgeous minerality.
