  And what do you know, this bottle is not oxidized and is delightful! Toast and yellow fruits and crushed stones in the aromatics, with a medium-light bodied palate of creamy lemon and grippy minerality before issuing in a long, stone-inflected finish. This is what you age 'em for; glad to get one before the premox did.

  This bottle was showing some signs of oxidation, walnut skin and sherried fruits. Not so much as to make the wine unpleasant to drink, but enough to obscure any sense of place. Drink up.

  Bright burnished gold - still super clean. Beautifully fresh mineral with fine oak and soft yellow fruits - no premox here - full of vitality. Palate has a touch of honey and a salty note. Beautiful balance and perfect current drinking.

  My last of six bottles, and the best. Just passing from pre-adolescence to young adulthood: poised, tangy, fresh with just the beginning of depth. Bize makes wine for the ages. This wine could continue to develop for many years yet, imho.

  No premox on this bottle. A touch of pungency to the minerality of the aromatics here. The palate has certainly relaxed since release, with some earthiness to complement the brisk, focused citrus fruit. The clarity of character is quite clear here, and I can only hope subsequent bottles will show as well as they continue to develop.
