Definitely has entered that wonderful maturing white burg phase. Deep gold, rich with great acid and balance, hawthorn, bay laurel, dry apricot and preserved lemon, creme fraiche and most important, that gorgeous salted caramel note. The wood is integrated and provides texture above flavor. Major elegance. This was much better the 2nd night, so I would recommend a decant, not for tightness or reduction, just for the improvement with air. A lovely example

I'm still collecting from WTSO but not nearly as much as I used to. Storage space is about maxed out. We love blind tasting, though. We know others who have made real food and wine a big part of their lives, as well. Perhaps we can expand our groups and have some nice tasting events some day.
