29 months after the prior: Hmm, this bottle showed char, verging on tar. Not nearly as friendly as we remember the previous. These qualities became only more pronounced over the course of three nights.

The note below describes it well. Tasted alongside some of the same house’s 1ers from the same vintage, however, it showed, by comparison, a bit less complexity. Still, highly enjoyable over three nights, and it developed quite nicely over that time.

The nose is a little muted now but pleasant whiffs of cooked butter and smoke waft from the glass. Crisp and tensile, very clean and elegant, with plenty of fresh citrus and orchard fruit fringed by a lick of salt. Excellent but has the potential to be better with age. 91+
