Red flag of a clump of moldy goo at the base of the capsule, and lower than typical fill level for the age. Cork shows some signs of leakage. Gave it a shot, and the nose and initial taste is fine, quite good, but significant off-flavors on the finish. After 30 minutes of sitting and breathing, it's acceptable, but not great. This is my last of this vintage, and probably just a one-off, but if you have some stored, best to check the capsule and ullage.

Quite cloudy in the glass, though no flaws. Timid fruit, an almost Alpine minerality, subtle use of oak, lovely texture. Perhaps just a hair expensive for what it is, but still good quality.

Aromas of papaya, candied popcorn, banana and pineapple. Flavors of papaya, mango, pineapple, citrus and touch of nut. Ends with a 30 second finish with tropical fruit notes. There was a bit of heat on this and took awhile for it to warm up. Not quite as good as the last time I had it.

Lush stone and citrus fruits with a touch of spice. Not super deep, but pure and delicious.

Ripe apricot, brioche, butter, nuts, surprisingly sweet. Really good!
