Lacking a partner last week, drank over 6(!) days with a combo of smoked fish, veggie quesadilla, and lighter fare.
This is very primary and initially had a "punchy" fruit essence and also just the slightest hint of Brett. Cherry, cranberry, and apricot with a little clove. In my experience, it takes 4-5 years past the vintage date for this to settle, and this is no exception.

Nice but still very primary. A bit of a dichotomy: punchy, effervescent, fruit cocktail and complex, damp, woodiness. Still quite tannic too. Perhaps in time they will merge to form something greater than the parts?

For reasons beyond my control drank over ~1.5wks. Pale straw color with a simple citrus and mineral nose. Crisp acidity, citrus, and green apple dominated for the first few days. Great staying power - the last glass was different (mellowed acidity, chalky, mellon) but perhaps better than when fresh.
