Saturday, April 11, 2009 - Two years after my last bottle this wine is quite transformed. I did aerate it for 2 hours before tasting it, but I could feel the nose was no longer tight as soon as I poured it in the decanter. After the aeration it has shown a generous nose mixing minerals, lemon zest, a hint of butterscoth, fresh herbs and flowers. The palate was rich, creamy, driven by a combination of minerals, citric notes, floral notes, and again just a touch of butterscoth. The finish is very long and more focused on the lemon zest note combined some notes of toasted almonds. It's an outstanding wine. Just don't try to serve it in the patio in the summer as a "drink". It will not forgive that. This is a dense, rich and robust wine that needs to be paired with an elegant seafood meal. From now until 2015.
