my last bottle. the nose is closed at first and not very appealing. After 20 minutes in a decanter, it opens up. still some fruit, a bit of honey. quite enjoyable. the palate is not gives a lot of pleasure. Obvious lack of flesh. Not bad, but nothing special. This bottle seemed more tired than the previous one.

two bottles opened within a couple of months. Pretty similar. Seemed tired at first but got better with air. So I opened the second one one hour before serving and left it in a cool place. It did the trick. Nose on citrus side, gently waxy, a touch of honey. Still bright with a lovely lingering acidity and enough flesh to make it very enjoyable. I do not believe it will get anything more in the cellar. I would drink up, but no hurry.

Not a lot of fruit on opening, , but really complex nose with wax, grass, and petrol. I thought a bit tired at serving but actually picks up heft and citrus fruit through evening. Quite fun. B+

Beautiful nose, complex and appealing. But the palate of this bottle (third this year) shows clear signs of decline. still a very enjoyable wine.
