Just not my style, very crisp - certainly non-dosage in profile with good mineral, but seemed to have little fruit. Probably the non-dosage aspect magnified.

Fantastico, drinking expressively now but with time left. There really is no punishment for not waiting.

In a great place, no decant just time in glass. A few more years of life ahead, but extremely pleasurable now.

Interesting nose, more reminiscent of a cotes du rhone than the Hermitage I have had, not sure this has much more left...but drinking well now, memorable finish.
