Mineral and toast notes, like dust on a heating element, with lemon and yellow apple. Still a pleasure, but probably nearing the end of its drinking window.

I enjoyed this one more than the others at the table. Huge perfume nose and salty sea spray. Light oxidation and bright red apple fruit flavors. Good balance. Probably not improving with age based on showing and other notes.

1999s poured blind, with a few unplanned extras (The Winery Restaurant in Newport Beach, CA (The OC)): 9 years since the last TN? Wow. Aromatics show an oxidative quality with bread dough and toast. Lemon, some residual intensity that sits within a savory, herbal core of fruit that finishes soft with just a touch of mineral. This to me seems well resolved and perhaps past peak.

What a creamy Champagne - so smooth. Had with smoked salmon. Yeasty and full bodied.

Very disapointing. Not much life left in this wine.
