  Over a year since the last tasting note, to me the wine still very well matches the previous descriptions. The previous tasting notes are really good, far better than average.
  
  So far no one has mentioned the glass stopper on this bottle which seems to be retaining flavor and all superbly. The colour is beautiful, grapes were ripe, ample acidity in balance. Long delightful finish.
  
  Amazing that this is already an 8 year old wine and barely beginning to show the aged white wine flavours. Would not surprise me if this wine was still enjoyable, possibly extraordinary, in 10 or more years !
  
  We drank this tonight with a spicy green Thai style curry and it was outstanding.

  Ripe citrus, apple, apricot, slight smoke and wet stone on the nose, as well as some slight honeyed developed notes. The medium to full-bodied, rich palate continues with the ripe citrus and apple theme, adding strong mineral acidity and slight saltiness. Long finish with rocky acidity. The ripe fruit is balanced well by the strong acidity and the fiery volcanic character, and the age is starting to bring in some tertiary tones, adding a layer of complexity to the mix. Really high quality for a "mere" estate wine. Drink now or hold to behold more of the emerging tertiary tones.

  What a lovely wine; not hot at all at 14%. It's salty, but round and complete somehow; it has hints of tropical fruit but doesn't feel candied, nor is it too viscous or onerous. Ready to play nicely with what would seem like whatever you've got. Really glad I opened my mind to this!

  Great wine. Good fresh acidity with lemon and grass. Solid core and nice balance. Delicious.

  Meursault nose. Rich and thicker than usual. Good body with more fruit than nose would belie. Really enjoyable.
