91 Points

Friday, October 13, 2023 - Decanted for 30min then back to bottle and followed for a few hours.

Expressive nose of creamy ripe tropical fruit. Mango, apricot, melon. Distinct thick waxy note overlaying the fruit as well. Palate had a lovely mouthfeel. Full but not heavy, dense, and powerful. Acidity was not nearly as high as I would have expected or hoped. Finish was very long with dense tropical fruit.

As this aired out some acidity came to play. Kept half the bottle in the fridge and will report back on Day 2.

Quality is very high but not stylistically my preference. I prefer something a bit leaner with more cut. 91-92, drinking very well now. Certainly another 10 years ahead for those that liked aged whites.

Day 2: Similar notes, maybe some more acidity showing but not much. Good quality but not my preferred style (at least in this vintage).
