Sadly, three last bottles all in various stages of oxidation. Two past their best but drinkable (just). Other further gone. Shame. Very rare with this producer in my experience, but fair enough given age, appellation, and vintage I guess. Oh well, not indestructible!

Took a good 30+ minutes in the decanter to mellow the matchstick. After that, creamy lemon curd took over along with green apple, pear, nuts, and orange rind. Tart and crisp with a creamy mouthfeel. Had with fresh Steelhead topped with honey and pink peppercorn-lemon-thyme spice...one of the best pairings I've had in a long time.

Touch reductive but mineral, bright, surprising presence for this entry cuvée. Drink now.

Lovely- beautiful nose, difuse on the palate but gained a bit of weight and complexity over time.

Blossom, pear, wet stone, liquorice and a hint of grass. Briney and very mineral, with lemon liquorice finish. Nice but not memorable.
