Light chill, opened and tasted then had with and after dinner, sauteed scallops. Best with some air. Lovely rich complex of yellow stone fruit, citrus, lemon/lime maybe tangerine, layered with light herbal & mineral notes. Great textured palate, fine mouthfeel, as in rich and balanced with length to let the varied flavors float ending with clean finish. A bit left for day 2, though it had lost the depth of prior day. Given profile of notes to date, and this bottle, has life left but improvement maybe not.

hard to tell if this is at its peak, but it was just singing tonight, so many interesting citrus tones, ripe tropical and stone fruits too, deep leafy and vegetal nuance to accent its ripe fruit, drink one soon if you have it, but maybe save it and follow it, as the the balance is on point and I can't see it fading any time soon

Lovely wine with great energy and complexity. Perfect with roast chicken with tarragon. In a good spot and should hold here but not sure I’d wait a decade on these.

Oxidised significantly beyond previous bottle - cork showed some signs of failure.

Some complexity but a bit flat. May be aging out.
