Similar to two years ago, if it’s just a touch better integrated and fleshed out in the midpalate. Easy quaff, if missing a bit of the cut and energy of the best years.

Fruity aromas are subdued on the opening. I detected mostly minerality, slight saltiness and some hay. Gulped my glasses too quickly to be certain but this seemed to improve with air. The wine was balanced and worked very nicely with food but for me felt too simple to be enjoyed on its own.
I will decant my last bottle to test whether this actually improves with airing.

This wine has improved over the past year and a half, came into shape and is ready for the next decade.
Lovely nose of fresh see breeze, shell fish and blossom. Palate of intense lemon, creme fraiche, hay and again oyster. Very mineral driven finish. Wine improves with air and slightly higher temps over the evening and the best glass was the day after. More intense and focussed.
