  Still has some primary characteristics, but will transition to secondary over the next few years. Delicious, in either case.

  Purchased from retailer and stored in humidity, temperature controlled wine storage location.
  
  Definitely not over the hill. Wonderful nose of spices, yeast, ripe green apple; a little lacking in depth on the palate but good complexity mirroring the nose, showing a hint of age, smooth acidity and fine bubbles. Finish is clean with good length.

  Tasted non blind.
  
  Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout with tiny, light beading. Nose of fertilizer, dirty diaper and yellow pears. Flavors of lemon, yellow pears and yellow apples. Bright acidity, full bodied. Drink over the short to perhaps medium term. I'd lean toward the next 2 years.

  Sunday hangout (Chicago, IL): I'm not the biggest fan of Gimonnet, but I thought that this bottle showed very well. For my palate, this is relatively mature, showing a good amount of yellow fruit and a touch of baked goods as well. Sufficient, but not overwhelming acids make this very nicely balanced. Feels like it thins out a little on the back end, but that's really just nitpicking.
