A very good, but I wouldn't say great, wine. Much better after two hours than pop and pour, when a bit of petrol and complexity developed. At first, white fruit and flowers. I recently tried a 1985 Ygrec, which amazed. Better young or old? Both interesting, but other bottles better reward a 30+ year wait.

SO'd for an hour, pineapple & slightly grassy (that blew off quickly) on the nose, pineapple with other tropical fruits on the palate with nice acidity; outstanding, drink or hold

An enticing floral note kicks off the lemon and white rock flavors that makes for a zippy but also solidly weighted profile. There is some grass here, but it is more mineral and yellow fruit driven overall. Drink now, cuz I’m personally not a fan of aging these wines - I’ll typically handle a bit more primary fruit if it means the freshness is at its apex. Nothing more boring than a tired white wine… except maybe watching Hamlet in slow-mo while alone and locked in a yurt in Ulaan-Uul, Mongolia.
