My second of two. Crummy record keeping as I thought I had two, now I got none! Everything that I put into my TN back in May 2018 is still accurate, but there is a softening of the intensity. Lemon, yellow apple, grapefruit and a distinct saline quality note that still persists in the wine. What I think we have here is the more forward qualities of the 2014 vintage, yet the softening of the acidity now as it approaches year five. While I didn't want to accept some of the perspectives of the other tasters that previously mentioned words like 'at peak' or 'fading', I have to agree with the general direction of these comments. My belief that this vintage of Brosseau is ready to go and is in the window now to be enjoyed, as the acidity, plumper fruit and saline are all working in balance with each other.

Light staw color. Lemongrass and apple blossom aromas and a touch of glycerin. Medium body. Medium plus acidity. Medium plus finish. Lemon drop, pear, and honeydew mellon. Seems to be peaking. Drink now.

Ack, something bacterial here. Not pleasant. A pity because the last bottle was great.

Oxidized. Not horribly so, but enough apple cider notes to be distracting.
