Beautiful lemon chiffon, honeysuckle, spice on the back end, good acidity, long long long finish. I brought this wine to a restaurant, my first comment to the sommelier was "holy sh-t".. I offered him a taste and he came back a few moments later and said, "sir, holy sh-t is right!" Drink now.

[No formal notes. Half bottle (fifth of 12). Unfortunately this bottle resembles the third in the case more than the first, second or fourth. A deep (too-deep) colour, and slightly musty nose, ester or vinegar notes, suggesting oxidation. Palate continues the theme. Not entirely unpleasant (not everyone agrees there is anything wrong at all), but to me this is spoiled. A worrying trend emerging here.]

[No formal notes: This half bottle (the fourth of a dozen) sees a return to form - none of the scary oxidised traits of the third bottle some months ago. Hopefully that was a blip.]

Honeysuckle, hazelnuts, lemon, and floral elements. Beautifully balanced. Fully mature... drink up
