PnP. Notwithstanding the fact that it had been stored at 55F since shortly after release, this is nonetheless very tired, its best days some years behind it already. The first glass after the cork was removed was enjoyable enough, but the faded fruits soon became overwhelmed by acids. Drink up, fast.

Great wine. It kept changing and evolving every time I was smelling my glass. Fat but enough acidity to balance it, some wood but nothing intrusive and adds complexity and texture to the wine. Honey, spices, cigar box (yes, yes...after 2hours..), citrus and orchard fruit. Not so much on the tropical fruits as many white CdP and with a long finish. Well done!
