  With Dungeness Crab….
  Much like my last review but a slight step back.
  Followed over 2 1/2 hours. Great salinity, tension and acidity and worked well with food but has lost some fruit and become slightly bitter. Some Tarragon.The freshness saves this.1 bottle left. Drink up?

  With Sushi…
  Pre meal-salinity, slight crushed rocks, Banana peel and lots of refined energy. Oily richness
  With Sushi- great precision and stability and very complimentary to fresh fish flavors. Hazelnuts
  Nose a bit restrained keeps the score down. Peaking
  Excellent!

  Used Durand to get cork out. Lovely gold color. White flowers and tropical fruits on the nose. On the palate this has exquisite balance with more acidity backing up the fruit than in other bottles. Long finish with no fading and just as good on day 2. This lacks just some of the minerality and unctuous intensity of the Marcassin estate in good vintages. Lovely wine and drinking beautifully at age 12.

  Very tight cork; needed Durand to remove. Medium yellow. Rather mute on the nose with some hints of tropical fruits. On the palate this has lovely viscosity, hints of marzipan and creme brulee and a touch of acid to round it out on the finish. Would rank higher if the aromatics were more interesting as the palate is lovely. Drink up I think.
