Showing a little amber in the glass and some mature notes, both on the nose and palate, but not distracting and certainly not premox. Has plenty of acidity and fleshiness on the juicy apple flavors with tons of shell and minerality on the finish to butterscotch and almost Meursault elements on the front of the palate, but that would never finish like this one.

Drank alongside the 2008 Clos. A bit more advanced than the Clos with more maturing notes, touch of honey/butterscotch but certainly not unacceptably advanced. A touch darker in colour as well. Very enjoyable but just not as excellent as the fresh and vibrant Clos.

Perfect cork. Beautiful pale straw color with a hint of green still present. Lovely nose of green and white orchard fruits. It has a nice mouthfeel and lovely balance with fresh acidity. This bottle is drinking well and is at or near its peak. I'm glad I have a couple more.

My last of these. This one was not so alive and inviting as the last one I had. It felt a bit muted and almost sour, but there was still some charm.

Oxidised and only partially redeemed by mixing it with some vermouth and bitters to form a Bamboo adjacent.
