From 375. Boy, was this a big change from the last bottle. Soaring nose with lovely floral notes. A bit heavy on the palate but with just enough acidity. Great, expansive flavors. Nice finish. Quite a surprise; now I'm tempted to hold my remaining bottle for a few more years and hope this continues to develop.

From 375. Opened and consumed over about three hours. Reserved nose. Compact flavors of honey and almonds. Waxy, rustic texture. Added some floral notes with time, but also seemed to be closing down/oxidizing. At this point I'd be inclined to either hide these in the cellar for a long time or sell. Not worth opening right now.

Wow, golden straw color, mushroom and the slightest hint of truffle on the nose. full and rich on the palate! This is a fantastic bottle.
