After having the wonderful 2006 Gravonia a few months back I was excited to open this bottle. What a treat indeed. Just cascading scents and tastes at every turn. It moved from a stunning aperitif to a nimble pairing for seemingly every dish morphing to meet the challenge of a cheese plate then with enough acidity to cut through richer dishes after. Excited to try the 2nd half of this bottle tonight. Would agree with others that this is in peak territory with many years to go.

Decanted for 4 hours and enjoyed over 3 hour meal. In a great spot. Elegant while still providing ample weight. Very enjoyable.

Pleasant wine with a sense of place that is bright and shows exotic flavors of citrus and minerals.
