This bottle has seen better days. Had a bite to it like over oak and acidity that took away from the tart citrus fruit. Just has lost some balance and smoothness that was likely once there. Update 5 days later: For whatever reason I had put the bottle in the fridge instead of dumping. Tonight it has freshened up some with very lemony flavors and a slightly oily texture. Tropical fruits and banana on the nose. Still acidic but much more enjoyable. I am stunned what it did in 5 days on its own. Give it a couple bonus points.

Light golden color, with lime, honeysuckle, and vanilla scents. The palate shows fresh citrus, saline, and herbs stitched into a high-toned richness, with juicy tart lemon notes revealed in the finish. The wine has a nice intensity and zesty acidity, no doubt from the lack of any malolactic fermentation.

This Library Release was still drinkable but far beyond the prime window. The lower third of the cork crumbled as I removed it from the bottle.
