Opened yesterday, kept under the open cork overnight and using the last few ounces remaining for my note. Just lightly golden in color but there is no oxidation of any kind here. The texture here is moderately glossy, even a little petrol helping out, too. Golden apple, lemon brûlée with a spicy, vibrant finish. There is some lingering minerality here, embedded into the finish, joined by some spicy fennel. This wine showed solid yesterday and it remains so with air. I believe this will hold up with more age, as the energy inside of the wine is still there for the ride ahead.

Imperial Paragon Wine Night + Promontory!: Yellow fruits, peaches, flowers, citrus, apples. Nice structure and minerality on the finish. Enjoyed this and should improve with more time.

Initially a bit closed, and needed an hour or so of air to really flourish. Aromatics were beautiful. Expressive orchard fruit, lemon peel, hint of nuttiness, with a slight jura funk. Really complex flavors balanced with a nice acidity. Easy to sip but really something to drink and to think about.
