Popped and poured at fridge temp. The cork broke and looked like it had leaked a bit, but the wine was fine. Certainly has calmed down since I last had it, petrolly smells there, but not dominating, good yellow fruit on the nose. On the palate the wine seems to be losing its baby fat, acidity peaking through, good fruit like apricots and yellow apple, rather sweet. Very nice!

Popped and poured at fridge temp. Strong petrolly smells coming out of the glass, maybe even some blue cheese...but the palate is very nice, clean appley, apricotty tastes, fairly sweet, however the acidity is fairly low. An enjoyable wine, but I would like for it to have higher acidity.

Popped and poured at fridge temp. Quite nice and flowery, apricots and peaches, bit of a minerally streak on the nose. The palate is quite sweet, orange, apricot, nice acidity, feels very young. I should think this will get better with some more age on it, very quaffable now.

A precise wine that gains weight and is balanced out with acidity. It has some sweetness because it from a ripe vintage. There are scents and flavors of apple, pear, petrol and slate. (It is delicious with crab cakes.)
