By the glass as part of the wine pairing at Ikoyi, London. Fresh bottle. Soft oxidative and we wondered if the best days of this wine are behind it. Still a lot of oak here, buttery and frankly dominates the wine . 89

Excellent when allowed to warm up from fridge temp. The acidity was in fine proportion to the minerality and Meyer lemon/ lime flavors. The saline nose went on forever, invoking ocean images. The finish was a little clipped to an otherwise thoroughly enjoyed bottle.

Pop and pour: slight oxidative notes, not unexpected for this age. Need to breathe. (And warm up)
1 hour after open: Lemony creaminess, oxidative notes remain, but very enjoyable.
Palate is very nice, good acidity, mineral length,
3 hours after open: delicious.

Pronounced nose intensity with grapefruit, lemon and sharp acidity. Fresh and refreshing. The perfect combination with in season hairy crab.
