  March 24, 2020 - Having had this same wine a month ago, this was an eye opener. Previously the bottle (Domaine) with 2 hr decant was decidely soft and showed orchard fruit and little more, it did improve over an hour but never exciting. This bottle today was decidely different from the get go, I didn't but open and let sit for an hour before consuming. Initial nose was showing great amount of salinity/sea shell notes and got better from there, slowly evolving to show nuts, slight butter, flowers and more salinity. This didn't change over the entire time consuming, warming over dinner only soften and expanded the experience. Comparing these two bottle was like night and day, both Diam corks, not sure I remember the same tightness as todays bottle which was very tight and no wax on the cork. But so different they were. I have one left and if the same as today's then many more years left. Same providence so my finger are crossed.
