Nice, but I think it's in decline. When opened it had some oxidative notes. Those never completely disappeared from the nose, but the palate became quite delightful. Lots of acacia wood, very subtle citrus, some stony minerality, and some breaths of white fruit. Well balanced and smooth with a lengthy finish.

Oh man, this is good! While it really is all about the minerality, it has a really nice balance including lemon, a little butter, some floral scents, and perhaps a little apricot. The butter is a little more pronounced on the long finish but always dominated by the chalky mineral flavors. Excellent!.

Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Lots of rich orchard fruit with excellent density. Very bright with good length and an expanding finish.
