Served blind. Initially puzzlingly exotic, verging on New World. Then - after the reveal of the maker - either by mind trick or in fact happening due to aeration it come round to show that PYCM hallmark reduction. Started out 90 probably would have gone to 94 had I had more in the glass as was small pour. So bottom line - decant this wine.

Classic PYCM. Layers of white flowers, citrus fruits and a piercing mineral core. Good stuff and it drinks well now but no rush and it could improve further over time.

1.5 hr decant, such a great place now, lemon chiffon with flint notes, finish that lasts forever it seems. Powerful and elegant with excellent balance. Still young as the strong note of flint lingers as a bit bold note.

Acker Merrall Bicentennial Gala (Cipriani Wall Street - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Floral start with ripe and fleshy apples through. Very good length, soft finish. Good now.
