  Possibly my fave bottle of Prince In His Caves. My first thought was - "More Loire than Cali." The bottle never faded. The wife liked a lot. The wine got a little woody, then racey, then even a little sweet. Impressed to see Abe's white wine lasting this long. Would love another bottle downstairs, but was my last.

  Decanted for one hour, during which time it drops the overt sherried and slightly vinegary character on the palate, developing more dried fruit notes (Turkish apricots) an seemingly more creaminess. The nose was explosively aromatic upon opening, then it becam redolent of umami. Drank well for 3+ hours.

  This bottle was double decanted in the morning, and drunk not too cold. More enjoyable as an aperitif, an orange wine with reddish texture. Our SB appreciator liked it a lot.

  Light lemon gold. Not much like SB, but not as exotic as some notes below. White and yellow stone and pommes fruit, rather like a muscular, tarter southern Rhone.
  
  Day two, now this tastes like a really intense SB! It's been a long time since I have had Dagueneau, but this is up that alley, just with more alcohol. Doesn't mean I like it a lot more, but it does improve my opinion of the wine.
