Flint, white pepper, fresh meadow fabric softener, alliums in sandy soil in this intriguing nose. Dried apricot, more white pepper, gooseberry, and just the right bit of whole cluster stemminess. It’s not always a negative, here it balances the ripeness, the illusion of sweet. Still remarkably youthful, should drink beautifully for 15 years. Medium body and finish, matched well w chicken piccata.

Last of a six pack and the take away is I should definitely have given these more time. Much more depth and complexity than other bottles. Showing mature aromas and very nice weight and mouth feel, where previous bottles had been more linear. Got some strong melon notes with more air. Jonathan wondered if it might be towards the upper RS limit for GGs, but I didn't sense overt sweetness. It did, however, match very nicely with our pork chops, which were rubbed with mustard and curry powder.
