  Tasted blind, this wine had a medium yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose put forth almond paste, honey suckle, white stone, and quince.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was ripe with firm acidity and very good length. It certainly seemed young and tight at first but improved nicely in the glass.
  
  Given the great condition of this bottle, I would have argued for 4-5 hours of air time before the tasting starts as I don't think this quite reached its apogee during this tasting. However, it was certainly a great bottle that will last at least 10 years in the cellar.

  Not the highs of Tour bottle, but still quite good. Needed an hour plus decanted for lemon curd to develop. Surprisingly viscous. Persistent.

  Bright fruit, good minerality across the midpalate and finish, and great length.

  While still, drinkable, it’s too faded,, too old, too tired. Flat on nose and palate, this bottle at least has seen much better days in the past. We did not try to finish the bottle.
