September 28, 2021 - Really went through some evolutions over the course of two hours after being decanted a few hours prior. Give this air. At times reticent, at times typically D&R electric, enjoyable and intriguing all throughout.

Shows more like a Muscadet in style/weight (similar to the bottle I had in 2018). I definitely preferred the 2013 for its greater depth.
