Needed air to flesh out, initially a bit reticent and empty. Starts to pick up richer yellow orchard fruit but still felt a bit too lithe for the age. The classic old school Leflaive reduction starts to fill the space and you get some of that aged texture and aged spice. The bottle was good but it never felt like it got to the point where the 89 Chevy (original release) was a month ago. Just never felt like it hit the extra gear

Beautiful bottle. Precise nose, good acid across the palate, strong finish.
