  Asher's 1st Birthday (Alex's place): From a double magnum, this was very nice. It had a lovely nose, with fragrant aromas of brown pears and lemon zest nestling amidst more developed scents of mushrooms in cream, some honey, and then drifts of smoke and flinty mineral. The palate was still fresh and alive, with a lemon and lime attack underlined by a lovely line of mineral. This then opened up into brown pears and some appley flavours with a lightly honeyed glow on the midpalate. Pass that, a lively finish pulled away with some of those savoury mushroom and mineral tones suggested on the nose. A nice wine. Not the most complex, but nicely weighted, with a mellow, rounded feel tied to a very nicely focused and precise feel. At a nice place now, but in this format, it could easily have gone on for years yet.
