  Here it starts to be interesting - lovely wine, lots of energy. Atlantic ocean freshness and saktiness.

  An hour of air. Continued to open up as we drank it. Light citrus, almond, butter, wet rocks on the nose at first. About a half hour later ( ie 90 minutes after opening) an amazing scent of the Atlantic Ocean just washed over me - more than just chalk or salinity, I have never quite smelled this before. On the palate steel, beurre noisette, green apple, touch of apricot. Elegant and understated. Haunting.
  Score 98-99. Relative to expectations: +++

  Early phase of development, already very long and interesting. Depth here is amazing.

  Amazing wine. Decanted about 30 minutes. So deep and penetrating. Nutty and buttery and the most amazing waxy texture on the palate. Still carries a lively acidity. Came back to a glass about an hour later and a kaleidescope of flavors and tones were racing around and there was more of a minerality present. The finish was crazy long and just lingered all over the palate. On and on and on...really terrific stuff.

  The best white wine in bordeaux. Aroma very good. Very powerful white wine. Open for three hours still getting better
