Haven't checked the paperwork. Bought 3-4b perhaps 8-9 years ago--probably from Garagiste, perhaps 15-17/b. Very pale gold, crisp on the first night, impressions of petrol and muted pepper, very good mouthfeel. Held up over 48h, though more muted by day 3 but still tasty. Stored vertically (screwcap) in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.
