Beautiful petrol medicinal/menthol, thyme, graphite pencil and tropical elements. Drinking great now. Acidity seems to be somewhat absent. Nice viscosity.

Half bottle. Deep burnished yellow. Stone fruit and citrus gush out of the glass. Fairly sweet, spicy, and a pure beacon of fruit with succulence and incredible clarity. Like another bottle 6 months ago, remarkably young, primary, and delicious although I didn't get as much slate this time. Who knows whether it will ever develop more complexity, but the fruit is wondrous.

Half bottle. Full yellow with golden glint. Pretty simple formula-honeyed apple and peach followed in short order by a lovely finish of slate and fine acidity. Even at 14 years of age from a small format bottle, this has a long way to go to reach maturity; there are no secondary scents or tastes at present. The elements are stunningly pure and promising, but the whole does not yet excite.

Utterly delicious. A melange of tropical fruits, with significant botrytis spice. Honey, fig, banana, with a backbone of pit fruits. rich, focused acidity, impressively long. Was not expecting it to be this good. Glad to have several more.
