  Light straw colour, greenish tint.
  White flowers, faint tropical fruit, citrusy freshness. Faint matchstick adds to the complexity.
  Medium weight palate, subtle and gentle. The length is incredible, would love to line this up blind with some 1er/ Grand Cru white Burgundy.
  Just superb, good for another 10 years I think

  Best bottle and sadly my last. A more consistent and balanced version, certainly some ripe fruit but better line and length. Nougat, stonefruits, almonds but with some zest and stoney minerality. Clean finish showing a little toasty oak. May age a bit more but felt this was in the slot.

  Impressive start. Match stick aroma, complex. Concentrated core of fruit without weight, nicely balanced moderate alcohol.
  
  My only quibble is that I thought it would be even better on the 2nd night (half bottle, filled to full, stored in fridge), perhaps my expectations were too high.
  
  Drink now.
  
  13%ABV, sealed with screwcap.

  Pale red color, grass and a little green on the nose. Oak, buttery, fat, oil.
