93 Points

Saturday, April 24, 2021 - Double decanted and then the bottle left open early in the day. Drunk over three days thereafter.

A waxy and honeyed nose with pear compote, lanolin and a sense of stoniness. Expansive on the palate, deep, waxy, and texturally rich yet not heavy. The phase of pseudo-oxidation has passed and this is drinking at its second peak. Very long on the back end finishes with some nuttiness and bitterness that I think adds to the whole. It is a literal mouthful and a glass or so goes a long way. Texturally like aged white Hermtiage or GC Burg like Batard. Impressive and very interesting, but a little goes a long way. Held up for 3 days in the fridge after being opened.
