Night 1 - Simple, with telltale Jurancon tropical fruits and acidity, but lacking complexity and concentration. A little 'thin'.
Night 2 - 2/3rd's of the bottle fridged overnight, with a near miraculous evolution. Exposure to air has revealed truffle, white pepper, a hint of preserved ginger, dried fruits (principally some apricot) and the ubiquitous honey.
Judging by the second night, I would say this comfortably has a good few years in it and will probably improve. 89 for now, could see it scoring higher if it evolves and integrates that extra complexity in bottle.

Shiny golden colour. Ripe pear, honey and roasted almond on the noose. Creamy structure, delicious sweetness at the palate with the touch of some herbs. I was expecting little bit more concentration and acidity. The finish is clear, medium long length with some mineral and black pepper touches.
