The oak and smoke dances with cheese and tropics. Not clear who is leading. Wonderful ripe cantaloupe and even slightly bubblegum in the palate. Continued to evolve until the last drop dropped.
In a beautiful spot.

Nearly 2 years since my last bottle. This really benefited from 90 plus min in the glass and then it was like licking river rock. All mineral, some pear and a hint of green apple. This is a very well balanced wine that is no doubt in its prime but also no rush to drink these. I’m guessing these still have 3-5 years left on them with ease.

At age 12 this is impressive. Crisp nose of cut grass, grapefruit and a little tropical note. Medium bodied with good cut and minerality. Impressive concentration for a SB with some length in the finish. This is probably at peak but can go another 5 or so years.

I wanted to dislike this, but it was wonderful.

Grapefruit and lime notes., More richness and length than ordinary. Still quite drinkable.

Quite good, as usual. Needed some time in the glass to come together, so I suspect this will continue to improve for some time.
