  Still pretty primary. Never really came around in 3+ hours open. Opened up a bit, but it never really felt "ready". It was good, very complex fruit and light herbal notes with a very strong acidity and med/heavy body. I could get a hint of some maturity just starting, but honestly, I think this needs another decade to mature, based on this bottle.

  Needed an hour out of frig to get to 54 and aerate a bit; I poured it into decanter for 25 minutes, after bottle sat for an hour. Chalk and clay, then smoked oysters and lime marmalade, bitter orange soda, white pepper, butter toffee, a beautiful and complex bouquet. Some acacia honey pushing out. Medium body, fairly long, seems at peak, or maybe just slightly past it. Drink before 2025. Good acidity, vibrant and evolving in the mouth, mirroring the aromas, with jasmine tea, pimenton, white flowers, forest floor, and a hint of light caramel on the finish. Too complex and rich for my seared skate in lemon butter caper sauce, but worked great w asian spiced fried cauliflower. It would be exciting cold with fish and chips, or warmer with a veal stew. Avoid delicate seafood, most shellfish (except funky oysters); turkey leg better than chicken breast. Help the wine shine.

  Nez complexe, prune, pêche, miel , acacia, chèvrefeuille, vanille. Long et équilibré, mais acidité encore bien présente. Peut-être ouvert trop tôt? Mais bon , c’est mon anniversaire..

  Didn't take detailed notes but this was fabulous and paired perfectly with watermelon salad and seared scallops.

  Couleur jaune pâle. Nez discret, délicat sur fruit confit et des notes florales. En bouche tout est en finesse, bel équilibre, ample et d'une belle longueur.
  Très agréable
