  Kept evolving with each taste different than the last - drank over three days and day 2 was best - no rush to open but not the most profound of Mon Pere vintages

  Wow, the first whiff is already captivating. Incredibly beautiful and complex on the nose with blossoms, lemon, orange, citrus zest, a hint of smoke, and a bit of mint and other herbs. New flavors emerge every time you smell the wine. Lovely acidity with more lemon notes, apple, lime zest, minerals, and a bit of reduction on the palate. Extremely long finish. Holy moly, what a wine! Deeply emotional and satisfying.

  Ganevat Mon Pere Vertical (Chambers): Quite enjoyable on first pop and pour. Floral; a touch of reduction. Bright, salty, oyster shell. Some peaches and nuts. Like the 2007, this seems to change drastically with air, becoming more volatile and again showcasing that acetate note on the palate.
  
  ABV: 12.5%
  Closure: natural cork
  Stem: Korin white stem
  Decant: N/A; poped and poured and tasted over the course of ~5h
  Extra info: from vines of Savagnin Vert planted in 1930, on the blue marl of the Chalasses site. Aged for 130 months a la ouille in old demi-muid and barrels after a press à l'ancienne and no racking of the must. A small amount of sulphur is added only at bottling
  Vintage info from JF Ganevat: Rainy and complicated. There was a lot of noble rot they kept. The must was fragrant of pineapple & mango when pressed. The long ageing brought back some freshness. He realised then that this long ageing made the wine fresher in warm & opulent vintages, and it gave flesh and weight in the cold & lean vintages.

  tasted 1½ hours after opening. Initially a little dusty and chalky, not did not seem clean. More oxidized than expected. Decanted and served 45 minutes later, which showed ripe, flinty, and sweet nose. At the same time there was pretty biting acidity. Drinking OK but fell short of the magnum tasted a few weeks ago.

  en magnum - decanted for 2 hours before pouring back to the bottle, served after another hour in bottle. Initially showing lots of very sweet honey while decanting. Very big, toasty nose along with lots of sweetness, also coffee notes. Three hours and forty-five minutes after opening the nose was showing lots of toast and coffee. About 5 hours after opening there was some vanilla and sugarcane. Nose was still very sweet when serving temperature was very cold, but not so much ripeness and honey now. Still going strong and showing beautifully more than 7 hours after opening.
