Last bottle and it appears to be in pretty good shape. In recent vintages, I have lost my belief in the ability of these wines to age without Oxidizing prematurely. However, this wine was fresh with honey, green to yellow apple with good concentration. It’s a lovely vintage, I just don’t want to take up space on a low hit rate.

Like the Prudhon, another delicious bottle of a house staple. Has begun to mellow and isn't as driving as it once was with some waxy notes appearing, but still lovely fruit, flowers, and minerals. I love how the acids make the mouth water on the finish. Maybe I should be saving some of this for the longer haul, but I really don't want to as it's so delicious now.

Yes, young, but not closed and really delicious. Green apple, citrus, saline and beeswax. Some wooliness with air. B+ for now, A potential (if I can stop drinking)

Il vino potrebbe essere notevole. Purtroppo il sentore di miele è troppo preponderante e ne rovina il grande potenziale.

It was a pretty good wine, but did not blow me away. Maybe my expectations were too high from reading stellar reviews.
