Lovely balance but slightly losing bite, I thought. Think it might be slightly past its best. Certainly the idea it could keep well to 2034 seems way off.

Much improved from a bottle in '12. Quite dark golden color with nose of pleasant mustiness, apple, yeast. Still packing plenty of effervesce and acidity with flavors of apple, mushroom, bread.

Golden yellow; opened 2 days earlier then sealed, this is showing better, nose went from nuts and mushroom to buttery brioche, lemon, golden apples, still fresh acid but settled with the time open- could even use some more, nicely aged, still could use more time imo, need to wait a while for the remaining’08s.
