Medium wheat color. Nose of saline and salted butter, with aromas of freshly-cut grass and incense. I found the palate to be far more three dimensional than in prior bottles, with a salty minerality expressing the underlying limestone terroir balancing the richer flavors of buttered brioche. The acidity on this was pert and persistent, indicating that this should last another 10 years perhaps. Showing much better than its case-mates, this bottle makes me wish I hadn't consumed the others so hastily.

Very good, but not (yet) outstanding. Good fruit, a little tart. Not quite balanced. A few more years.
