  Pop and pour with dinner. No visible signs of age. Tropical notes of pineapple, lemon and lime with a bit of minerality. Still drinking well.

  Pleasant, quite full bodied, lemony. No decline though bottle was open for 3 or 4 days, suggesting well stored bottles should age slowly in the cellar for several more years.

  Coravin pour.
  So well balanced, with excellent viscosity. Tropical lemon, touch of butter.
  This went down fast.

  Just clean, lovely, and beautifully elegant. Showing notes of honeysuckle, melon, and just a touch of mineralogy making this privy to go to sample of why we need to age our whites just a little bit longer! I wish I had more.
