Impressive at age 9. Nicely developed yellow color; oily. Nose with lemon and mineral, even a hint of orange blossom. Very nice mouthful of fruit; quite excellent in its presence and delineation. Lemony fruit laced with cream. Ripe and juicy. Really hitting all the right notes today. Not seeing any deterioration at all. At a $35 purchase price years ago, this was a smart buy. 5-12-17-8: 92/100.

Popped and poured. This is drinking very well right now. Bright medium yellow. Just a lovely stony, lemony, citrusy nose with a nice creamy component and hints of smoke and gunflint. Excellent presence in the mouth, with rich, ripe but restrained mineral-laden fruit. Long, pleasant finish. This developed very nicely since purchase. Probably at peak, but no signs of imminent decline, as it remains lively and crisp. 5-12-16-8: 91/100.

The best of the bottles I have opened. Creamy and rich in the mid-palate with lush white fruit of apples and pears with a mineral back-bone in the finish. Just lip-smacking good with fish to creamy sauces. This might seem expensive for Macon, but to me it is worth it for the body in the mid-palate that most of Macon's are missing.

Lovely. On pop and pour, this was disappointingly insipid. However, given an hour to open up, it gained weight and depth, just flirting with the beginnings of secondary flavors. Would hold for another year or two till the next bottle.
