Opened 2 bottles both from the same purchase batch. The first one oxidized beyond "pleasantly aged".
The second bottle - "pleasantly aged". On the nose, a rich, creamy aroma with an appropriately sense of age (e.g. light oxidization). On the palate, nicely resolved. Rich, honeyed fruit. Acidity almost completely folded into the body of the palate.
My limited sample of one over the hill, the other drinking with elegant signs over age. My conclusion would be to drink these up....soon.

Maybe just slightly less lively than a bottle a year earlier. Still good citrus with well-balanced acidity. Clearly the winner in a blind flight including 2007 Kistler Kistler and 2009 Morlet Coup de Coeur.

Really delivered tonight, pleasant stream of muted fruit with woodsy over tones, nothing super, just lots of smiles all around.
